To God I Give Thanks
Grateful am I to God*, my blessings’ Source…
Benefit-supplies of heavenly course;
Mercy and grace He abundantly pours
Sufficed with contentment along love’s force.
With faith-driven triumph, I thank Christ’s gifts:
Forgiveness from sins’ guilt, truly heart-lifts
Peace of mind frees my soul from hatred rifts
Along answered prayers for needy drifts.
I worship the Lord midst thanksgiving praise
For family and friends with caring grace
Prodding me to share for others’ hope-brace
Full of joy; devoid of selfishness’ trace.
*1Thessalonians 5:18 "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
