Thank You Plenty

“Thank You Plenty” is track 12 on Rob Matare's African Gospel album Sunday Candle, released November 3, 2026. Gospel for the back row and the tired hands: grace in a casserole dish, mercy with a spare key, and a candle that never asks your name.

“Thank You Plenty” lyrics

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty

(Plenty plenty)
For the bread wey reach my table

(Reach my table)
For the ones wey love my trouble

(Love my trouble)
Thank You plenty, my mouth no reach

Halle, halle

(Plenty)
Halle, halle

(Plenty)

I no get testimony of jet
My own na softer wonder
The fever break on Thursday
The rent complete on Friday
Mama scarf still smell of Sunday
The pot still find something
My enemies dey do their best
Their best no reach my door

Count am one by one
The small ones plenty pass
Count am one by one
The small ones plenty pass

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty

(Plenty plenty)
For the bread wey reach my table

(Reach my table)
For the ones wey love my trouble

(Love my trouble)
Thank You plenty, my mouth no reach

The offering basket pass my row
I put my own with two hands
The choir mistress nod me small
She sabi where I come from
Last year this time I dey borrow
This year person dey borrow me
No be say I don arrive o
But the road don dey recognise me

After service I no rush go
I sit down for the empty pew
The cleaner dey stack the chairs
I just dey call the small mercies
By name, by name, by name

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty

(Plenty plenty)
For the bread wey reach my table

(Reach my table)
For the ones wey love my trouble

(Reach my table)
For the ones wey love my trouble

(Love my trouble)
Thank You plenty, my mouth no reach

(My mouth no reach!)

By name, by name
Thank You plenty

Thank You plenty, thank You plenty
