Thankful

I lift thine eyes towards heaven’s way,
Thankful for blessings given this day.

Oh lord, I thank you for saving me,
my heart is filled with much glee.

Each day that I live I’m grateful,
My soul rejoices, and I'm thankful.

Took my brokenness, I’m now whole,
Your stedfast love cleansed my soul.

Sometimes I fall short and get off track,
Faith in you helps me in things I lack.

In those times, I must seek your face,
and rest in the father’s amazing grace.

It feels so good to go to The Father and say "I goofed again. I'm sorry." and know that He not only forgives but forgets your mistakes. However if we are not really sorry He knows that too. Great job here Alexis. Love it. God Bless, JB
