Thank You

Sometimes words are complicated When you don't know what to say The words we need have somehow faded Even when we pray "Lord, give me that or Lord give me this" We ask in the name of His Son But yet somehow we've learned to dismiss "Not my will, but Thine be done" We take for granted His Mercy and Grace As we live from day to day Forgetting that Jesus took our place For a ransom that we couldn't pay The things we want are not a need Our needs He will supply Forgiveness is why the Lord had to bleed And the reason He had to die So the next time you bow your head to pray Count your blessings before you do For then you'll know what words to say "Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You!"
