But First Be Thankful
By Dawne Zacharias
When there is pain and a need
we bow our heads and seek
Our Father in Heaven
What is needful?
A willing heart.
Be thankful for all of your blessings
List them one by one
Then the miracle this brings
A change of heart
You are ready to hear Him
He is a living God
And is aware of you,
He calls you his child and knows you by name
You speak of your pain and
ask for relief
You listen and receive his word,
He gives you more than you could
ever have known
Tears run down your face for you know
He is real and you know He loves you.
The clouds disappear, the sun is out!
