Bryan Norton Poet Rhyme

Thank You, Lord, With Gratitude

For the beauty of the earth
For the budding rose in Spring
For the miracle of birth
Thank you, Lord, for everything

For the majesty of day
For the comfort of the night
For the truth in what you say
Thank you, Lord, with all our might

For the mountains white with snow
For the valleys deep and wide
For the blessings you bestow
Thank you, Lord, from deep inside

For the colors of the Fall
For the sunlight in the glade
For the wonder of it all
Thank you, Lord, for all you made

For the love you freely gave
For the victory you won
For the souls you came to save
Thank you, Lord, thy will be done

For the joys of love we share
For the tables rich with food
For the knowledge that you care
Thank you, Lord, with gratitude.
