So Much To Thank You For Lord
So Much To Thank You For Lord
Eyes to view the beauty of this glorious land...
Of mountains, trees, creatures. flowers and lakes....
Gifts generously decorate earth sent from Your Command.
Ears to hear leaves rustling as the wind passes by...
The laughter of children at play 'neath a summer sky.
A babbling brook, a croaking frog..Nature in harmony.
A soldier's footsteps walking through the gate.
Is sweeter than a symphony.
Nostrils to inhale Springtime fragrances that fill the eager air
Aroma of a roasting turkey on Christmas Day for family to gratefully share.
The touch of a child's hand clasped trustingly in your own....of wet grass beneath naked feet as they hurry home.
The taste of an early morning dew drop, a slice of Mama's homemade pie, cool drink from a mountain stream, the salty tear drop from a much needed cry.
And when You send the rains Lord... I am drawn outdoors to be drenched in the refreshing flood.
I'm reminded of the sacrifice You gave so sinners could be saved through your Love and Precious Blood.
