Lord, I Thank You

Donnie McClurkin turns a lifetime of faith and perseverance into a personal expression of gratitude on “Lord, I Thank You,” the second single from his forthcoming album, FINALLY, due in October 2026. Written by McClurkin and produced by longtime collaborator Trent Phillips, the song reflects on the blessings and hardships that have shaped his life and ministry. “This song is my praise report, and I pray it becomes yours too,” McClurkin says. Phillips approached the recording with restraint, preserving spontaneous emotion rather than smoothing every moment into studio perfection. That emphasis on sincerity fits the larger purpose of FINALLY, a live-recorded project centered on worship, testimony and hymns that McClurkin has announced will be his final recorded album. Following “Better Afterwhile,” the new single brings that farewell into focus through a simple, deeply personal message: after everything, there is still reason to give thanks.
