Thank You, My Lord
I want to thank You, my Lord
For the blessings so splendid
Proof positive that I’m adored
Beyond my heart’s own yearnings
With a love that won’t be ignored
It’s alive with wonder and joy
Sharing a love that is of one accord
Filled with light that pours out
Blessings that are my full award
I want to thank You, my God
For the joy, hope and wonder
Of a love that won’t be flawed
A love that is like the breath
That sings through me, awed
I feel like I’ve been sanctified
With a blessing so wide and broad
It shows my heart what it means
To love beyond, like a shield, an ephod
I want to thank You, my King
For the praise that dances inside
With a beauty and love you bring
To stir my soul to the quiet dreams
Of hearts who believe as they sing
In voices meant for adoration
Of the beloved to whom I cling
With my soul’s admiration, my faith
That silences every worrisome thing
CHORUS:
Thank You, Jesus, for the light
Shining like the wonders so bright
Freeing my soul of its fright
Whispering peace at your sight
Reminding me why I’m truly alright
A living testament to shine, excite
Assure the spirit of one contrite
Who is meant to love with pure delight
Praise God for this love I can recite
