Thank You Jesus
Thank you Jesus, for loving me,
You died on the cross, and set me free.
They buried you, and went away,
But you rose again on the third day.
Very soon you will come again,
And I will live with you in heaven.
Thank you for dying on Calvary.
Thank you Jesus, for loving me.

Sing for Joy
Let us all sing,
“Alleluia and thank you!”
Because Jesus our Lord is standing
– risen and alive
Come, friends, praise God
and sing, “Alleluia and joy!
Thank you, Lord of life,
for defeating death!
Here we stand, ready to follow you
into your new life!
Alleluia and thank you,
Jesus Christ,
our Lord and our God!”
