We Praise You, Lord, For Providing Us the Best
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best gift*
Such is everlasting life which does our souls uplift
With Your offered reconciliation midst sin-enmity’s rift
Making us heaven-bound, and from hell’s flames, adrift.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best security
Such is assurance of salvation in Your sovereignty
With Your granted adoption for our divine identity
Making us blessed as Your children throughout eternity.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best Book
Such is the Bible that keeps us from worldliness’ hook
With Your illumined vision for our scriptural truth’s look
Making us wise unto our faith’s perfection in every nook.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best story
Such is the Gospel of Your glorious victory
With Your bestowed conversion burying our old nature’s misery
Making us obedient so that Your name we can honourably carry.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best privilege
Such is serving You by Your grace we acknowledge
With Your supplies along stewardship-mileage
Making us fruitful in the ministry by Your guided knowledge.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best situation
Such is contentment in Your will in any occasion
With Your guaranteed provision and purging sanctification
Making us dependent on You through constant supplication.
We praise You, Lord, for providing us the best reward
Such is joyfulness in striving for holiness upon Your standard
With Your promised fortification around Your love’s safeguard
Making us close to You while each works as Your diligent steward.
*2Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
