Gratitude

Have we thanked The Lord today For the wonders He has wrought? Have we thanked our Lord today For the blessings He has brought.? Have we only hugged our sorrows To ourselves and nothing more? Or have we done some bad deeds That our Savior would abhor? Oh, we owe Him for our lives And salvation that He paid. We must thank Him for the gifts And the sacrifice He made. We’d be headed for damnation, If He hadn’t paid the price. We must thank Him for it daily And not merely once or twice. God sent His only son to us That we know His loving grace. We’re thankful for the promise That we’ll meet Him face to face. While on earth He suffered for us But He gladly bore the pain. Now we praise Him and adore Him For He’s coming back again.
