Imela (Thank You) Nathaniel Bassey

.F#
 When I think upon your goodness;
.C#/F
 And Your faithfulness each day
.B
 I’m convinced it’s not because I am worthy
.F#                                             C#/F

.F#
 But I’m grateful for your mercy,

[2]
Who am I to sing Your praises?
Who am I to worship You?
It’s Your blood that makes the difference in me
And made a way to enter into Your throne
I could not come near Your presence
I could never sing Your song
But the sacrifice on Calvary’s tree
is the reason I can cry out today
