Thankful

Thankful As performed by Caemon's Call Words and music by Derek Webb (capo 5) E F# I ran across an old box of letters A7 Am7 E While I was baggin up some clothes for Goodwill E F# You know I had to laugh that the same old struggles A7 Am7 E That plagued me then are plaguing me still E F# I know the road is long from ground to glory A7 Am7 E But a boy can hope he's getting some place E F# But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing A7 Am7 E And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase D A E No, there is none righteous D A E Not one who understands D A E There is none who seek God D A No not one, no not one E F# I am thankful that I'm incapable A7 Am7 E Of doing any good on my own E F# 'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions A7 Am7 E We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear E F# So what part can I play in the work of redemption A7 Am7 E I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing D A E D A E 'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear Your voice D A E D I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You A Because I have no choice E F# I am thankful that I'm incapable A7 Am7 E Of doing any good on my own E F# I'm so thankful that I'm incapable A7 Am7 E Of doing any good on my own D A E D A E D A E D D A E It's by grace I have been saved D A E Through faith it's not my own D A E D It is the gift of God and not by works A Lest anyone should boast
