Lord, I Dedicate My Gratitude To You
Lord, to You do I dedicate my gratitude You deserve
Great are You, supremely sovereign, constantly gracious;
I honor You, the holy eternal God Whom I serve…
Surely faithful, granting salvation, wondrously precious!
Great are You, supremely sovereign, constantly gracious…
Leading and guarding well with Your teaching precepts’ wisdom;
Surely faithful, granting salvation, wondrously precious…
To Your control do I submit for my genuine freedom!
Leading and guarding well with Your teaching precepts’ wisdom,
You do watch over me against traps of adversary.
To Your control do I submit for my genuine freedom…
For my faith to vanquish temptation by Your victory!
You do watch over me against traps of adversary.
Since I always trust You, relying on Your mercy’s might…
For my faith to vanquish temptation by Your victory---
I thank and praise You – the only way, the truth, and the light!
Since I always trust You, relying on Your mercy’s might,
Never do you forsake me in my failure’s vexation.
I thank and praise You – the only way, the truth, and the light;
Verily You bless my life for stewardship-fruition!
Never do you forsake me in my failure’s vexation;
You enable my triumph by Your love midst trials’ pain.
Verily You bless my life for stewardship-fruition…
Making me joyous in learning heavenly lessons’ gain!
You enable my triumph by Your love midst trials’ pain;
I honor You, the holy eternal God* Whom I serve…
Making me joyous in learning heavenly lessons’ gain.
Lord, to You do I dedicate my gratitude You deserve!
*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
