My Thanksgiving
Bestowed with gift of life midst well-being’s opulence
freely breathing-in oxygen at its purest
along optimization of functional bodily senses
indeed experiencing goodness and grace, greatly prevailing…
my heart thanks God with praise-filled bliss!
Endowed with faith, exuding hope triumphant
glowing radiantly through the Saviour’s compassion
along His imputed righteousness with imparted divine nature
while sharing loving kindness, overcoming selfishness-claim…
my soul esteems the Lord Who deserves my gratitude!
Blessed with opportunities for life building pursuits
made worthy by virtue of Christ’s sacrifice
along His ministry call via volunteerism route
in spreading His peace, marked by reconciliation and pardon…
my spirit offers thanksgiving to the Prince of peace!
Granted with answered prayers, propped by trust
acknowledging Sovereign providence, believing His omnipotence
along His omniscience, as well as generous all-sufficiency
to testify wondrous relationship with the Creator…
my person exclaims worshipful gratefulness!
*2Corinthians 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
