Hawkins, Walter - My Gratitude Lyrics






My gratitude
For all You brought me through
I can't help but say yes
I want to give you my best

I cried for help You heard me
Out of shackled sin You set me free
I can't help but say yes
I want to give You my best

I'll go where You want me to go
And do what You want me to do
I'll always endeavor to show
A desire to do Your will

Because You've given so much to me
How can I give any less
You have redeemed my very soul
And I want to give You my best

My gratitude
For all You brought me through
I can't help but say yes
I want to give you my best

My best nothing less...

Want to give you...
Nothing less
...

You deserve the very best Lord
Want to give You nothing less
...

    Walter, Edwin, and Andrae Crouch and the Rev. Cleveland are the father’s of Gospel. No question, about it. May they rest in peace. They’re singing in Heaven. One day, we’ll see them. While on earth enjoy life. Enjoy your love ones , family members, exercise, play sports to live longer. Eat, and drink healthy things.

  14. S.... J....

    I grew up in Berkeley California and attended the church where the Hawkins grew up, Ephesians Church Of God In Christ. Bishop Cleveland was the pastor. Bishop Ernestine Cleveland Reems also attended that church. Daryl Cooley was there also and Tremaine Hawkins. Can you imagine all that talent at the same church. RIP Walter and Edwin your music will live forever.

    S.... J....

    One of my favorites. So powerful

  15. K.... W....

    Edwin sings just like he speaks Graciously...The brother singing has an amazing voice. One of my favorite songs. Direct Bishop. My home church was so honored to have them come to teach some workshops back in the day...Under the direction of Dr. Curtis R. Lewis and Dr. Jeffrey A. LaValley...Bless be the Name of the Lord..Pastor KLO💒

    K.... W....

    The brother singing is Antoin Timmons.

  16. A.... R....

    Was Edwin Hawkins leave a wife and children? What was his illness? Because some folks made a huge issue with Pastor Walter Hawkins to the whys, what's and how's reasoning a to his death and ypu onto hear about Ezwins?

    As I was there interactions El Edwin was the elder estate and,Walter youngest brother and it was as prophesied that the you German son will lead. And, he did as the Lord wish. What is his son doing? He should take back from the devil that should be his. There were so much controversy about that.

    It's not my business but the way some folks carried on about the Anointed and most gifted one. They tore him or at least tried destroy his legacy. I love their music and still play them There,are some I've never heard.Praises!

    A.... R....

    What difference does it make. They made great music no need to get into their personal lives. They were great guys regardless of what anyone says.

  17. Q.... b....

    What a great expression of Love from the human prospect. The only genuine ransom for such a great debt. My soul cries out to the Heavenly Father, because I owe all that I have within me. My very life for such Love as this. You blessed my soul and put into words what I could not say myself. Glory to God in highest! Thank you!

  18. D.... F....

    I will never forget this night. I worked back stage during the concert, I cried
    and shouted and work. God
    was in the building. Edwin and Walter Hawkins were a true blessing in my, and many peoples lives.

    D.... F....

    Doretha, you are so right. There was a powerful move of God in the building that night! Praise dancing in this number was a challenge as I felt I would fall on the floor weeping every second. I waited until the song was finished dancing and as soon as I got in the wings I felt out, crying, and thanking God for the blessing and protection on my life. What an annoited music ministry the Hawkins Family has been blessed with. I'm so sad Edwin has passed and miss Bishop so much. But, I'm grateful for all they shared with the world. Their contributions are immeasurable!

  19. s.... m....

    I miss Bishop Walter L. Hawkins and all that God imparted into him to share to this planet during his allotted time here. Now we who have been commissioned to go forth as ambassadors of Christ must do so without excuse but equipped with the Word of God, under the direction of the Holy Spirit. My best, nothing less.

    r.... w....

    RIP Edwin and Walter Hawkins

  30. J.... C....

    This a beautiful song and a great praise dance. When we are filled with the spirit ourselves it becomes easy to embrace this type of praise and worship.

  31. C.... ....

    I really love the outfits and the colors they all look great and the voices amazing.

  32. R.... G....

    We love you Lord!

  33. A.... B....

    Yes Lord!

  34. D.... R....

    I love Edwin's voice.  His is the best lullaby voice...its so warm and comforting!

    D.... R....

    Yes he has a very commercial sounding voice. Reminds me of Nat King Cole.

    D.... R....

    You should listen to his albums. He has a whole slew of them. They are VERY comforting. Great to listen to at night while preparing to sleep.

    D.... R....

    Lillian Alexander I always thought the same thing...I love to hear him sing...it kind of let you know the person he is! Just by his voice I think he was a very humble man, loving of all as well as kind..would give the shirt off his back kind of person.

    You right many can't embrace this mess you call praise dance,we don't have ro accept that,the church allow all kinds of mess now,God don't need no dancers,he commanded all should praise him in a dance,this mess all on the floor raising up her legs,what kind of praise is this? May God have mercy on this foolishness,her love for Christ? What? JESUS don't needs to be suduced,yale likes the snakes that jirates and wiggle their selves around,Yale messing with Gods words,and true praise dancing

    m.... s....

    You should take this somewhere else.  I know people have said you are just looking for attention, but please get it somewhere else.

    m.... s....

    get over yourself

  38. A.... C....

    Thank you Father God..blessing me with another day...giving you my all. Hallelujah.....giving you my all'..

  39. B.... M....

    Is the young man of God one of Bishop's children? If not, he sure has the mantle on his life...so anointed!!!

    B.... M....

    No, Bishop has one son named Jamie and he favors Tramaine Hawkins which is his ex-wife. His son is a gifted drummer and preacher.

    B.... M....

    His name is Antione Timmons

  40. B.... M....

    God bless you woman of God! Many of our people still cannot embrace this beautiful expression of praise to our Lord! May he bless you always and keep you in his care. Thank you for the beautiful expression of love to Him.

  41. J.... R....

    Oh... I was hoping to here & see the Reprive...Bishop Hawkins really Ministered to Me/Us...thru THE HOLY GHOST. AMEN....ANYHOW!!! JR'ah

  42. D.... D....

    Let's not forget that He's GOD. JESUS is GOD.

    D.... D....

    Yes.  And Jesus told us we all are a part of God and God is a part of us.  When I learned this, and began to understand it, it transformed my life.  There is nothing outside of God, even the Bible tells this, and it is wonderful to know.

    D.... D....

    Uh, no,..Jesus DID NOT TEACH THAT. That is called pantheism , also known as eastern mystery religion in some areas.

    Jesus spoke and lived out the absolute , perfect commandments of LORD, GOD OF Abrahwm, Issac, and Jacibs, the called out HEBREW PEOPLE and nothing else !
    Hear O'Isreal, the Lord our GOD, the LORD , He is ONE.-THE FIRST COMMANDMENT !
    Later in Isaiah, LORD states:
    I AM HE, and besides me there is no other

    Jesus in the ONLY savior and REDEEMER for ALL MEN IN ALL TIMES AND PLACES!

  43. M.... K....

    Oh to have Gospel music like this again! I was a child when I first heard the Hawkins and it still stirs up my spirit! Yes, God, I WANT to give you my best! :)

  44. O.... J....

    I just love this song. It is one of my favorites from this album.

  45. d.... f....

    Walter and Edwin will always be my "dad" and "uncle" in the music ministry - even a lot of my songs I've written have that "Hawkins Style"... I'm so grateful to God that I am alive to experience the Hawkins family...

    d.... f....

    daniel freeman yes alive to experience the Hawkins family

  46. K.... L....

    YOU deserve the VERY BEST LORD! Want to give YOU nothing less! Glory hallelijah!!! My priase waits for YOU LORD JESUS!!! YOU are worthy! So worthy! Holy! Holy! Holy! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! Heaven and earth are full of YOUR glory! Hallelujah!

    K.... L....

  47. S.... ....

    Our choir just sang this last sun May 2012.
    Everyone loved it- what a blessing!
    We're not close to Love Center's level, but with the Spirit we're seeking the
    high calling in Christ Jesus

  48. C.... T....

    Even when my best seems so insignificant and at best trifling, He only requires a broken and contrite heart! And that is the best that I can give you Lord!

  49. D.... M....

    @Barb4hireable I can't stop playing it either........lol

  50. B.... M....

    I have played this song four times now; it is so beautiful. Jesus have done and is doing so much for us that we should give Him our best. We should never forget that He died and took our sins upon Him.
