Gratitude For Nancy Jones Contest

Lord, thank you for the gifts
That you have bestowed on me
I hope I use them wisely
To bring honor unto thee

I will always praise your name
And strive to make men see
The sacrifice you made
On the Cross to set us free

Sometimes we forget to thank you
For the wonders you have wrought
And often failed to follow
The rules that you have taught

And if, in some small way
I inspire someone to pray
These gifts will be well spent
And I will die content
