Notes About The Poem

Thank You, Lord

Thank You, Lord – 

What more could I possibly say… You’re the answer,
You inspire me to pray, then You reply with Your kindness,
Your gentle song, stirring my heart to believe, to see –
In You, there is victory! In You, my precious Savior –
I have all that I need!

There is nothing I can imagine or dream… without You,
There is nothing worth envisaging or conceiving,
You are the light, the way beyond the shadows of night –
You whisper to my heart and soul, a joy untold,
The beautiful that comes from Your glory is so stunning…
It inspires my yearning for eternity!

What more could I possibly say… You’re the hope,
Without You, I don’t have anything – without You, Jesus…
I don’t know the meaning of wonderful or merciful –
Without You, I can’t even think of the way to reach out,
Discover a music that lives in the soul, a music that exalts…
This love that You pour out in my life!

There is nothing I can say except, Thank You, Lord…
You are the answer, the way – to You, I will always pray,
Because of You, I will always praise!  I love You, Jesus…
I worship You with all my heart, all my thoughts,
Everything inside of me reaches out – adoring You….

The miracle of my life, my heart – the reason that I know
What it means to believe, without a doubt… 
This is the way to eternity and I’ve discovered the light
Who arises to meet me when I find myself in the dark,
The Light who provides meaning when I can’t see past the pain…

Always, I find myself saying, Thank You, Lord – You’re my everything!
