Oh Yahweh, To You I Give Thanks

For the breath I took when I opened my eyes, to start this new Today For the smile in my heart from knowing Your angels protect me along the way I am able to stand up, to walk and run; to lift up my arms toward the sky In this blessing of movement bestowed upon me, there is nothing that I cannot try I thank You that I can experience life; to laugh, and hug, and dance To share Your love with humanity - I am willing to take the chance I praise You for those that share in my life, whose love and support I have found And the helping hands that hold me up - when trying times get me down Though the love of my life has passed away to join You in Heaven's Rest I give thanks to You for the years we shared, for we gave each other our best There are those who live in fear and pain; many souls who are lost and forlorn In Your Word You said Christ is always with us, and so they are not alone I thank You for hearing our prayers Holy One; sometimes we pay You no mind But Your thoughts toward us are more than the sand, and they stand the test of time So thank You, Great Yahweh, Creator of all - the Heavens, the Earth and the Seas For giving Your Son, Your Spirit, Your Word, and providing for all of our needs Singing praises to You, Father Yahweh, I'll sing praises to You everyday To You I give thanks and to Christ, Your Son, for helping us find our way Neva Romaine 10/23/2015
