Wendy Watson Poet Kyrielle

A Grateful Heart

From heaven's splendid throne above
You show the world abundant love.
For daily breath and length of days
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks and praise.

You fill my senses with delight
I thank you for the gift of sight.
For wonders which enthrall my gaze
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks and praise.

For music which in me abounds
And life's melodic, joyful sounds
Your love continues to amaze
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks and praise.

You sent your Son to die for me
And set my burdened spirit free.
To you my grateful prayers I raise
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks and praise.
