• Needed forgiveness

  ➔ Past Participle as an Adjective

  ➔ "Needed" acts as an adjective modifying the implied noun (e.g., forgiveness was needed). It's a shortened clause: forgiveness that was needed.

• Girl, what we got’s worth thanking God for

  ➔ Relative Clause, Possessive 's, Preposition at the end of a Clause

  ➔ "what we got" is a relative clause acting as a noun. "got’s" is a contraction of "got is" showing possession (what we have). The preposition "for" ends the clause, modifying "thanking".

• And thank God you loved me when you didn't have to

  ➔ Past Simple Tense, Subordinate Clause with "when", Modal auxiliary ('have to')

  ➔ "loved" and "didn't have to" are in the past simple tense. "when you didn't have to" is a subordinate clause providing context for the main clause. "have to" implies obligation, and the negative shows the absence of that obligation.
