**"Thank You, Father"**
*A Sacrifice of Praise*
**Key Scripture:**
*"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."* (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
---
### **Verse 1**
*For every breath, for daily bread,*
*For mercies new with morning light—*
*For storms that drove me to Your arms,*
*For wounds that taught me grace’s might.*
### **Chorus**
*"Thank You, thank You, faithful God!*
*Not for gifts, but for Your face.*
*Had You given naught but Christ alone,*
*Still I’d owe eternal praise!"*
### **Verse 2**
*For prayers unanswered (wisdom veiled),*
*For doors You closed (though tears fell hot)—*
*Now hindsight shows Your shepherding,*
*And scars sing “Waste not!”*
### **Bridge**
*"Let rocks cry out if I grow still,*
*Let waves take up my grateful part.*
*For all I am, and all I’ll be,*
*Flows from Your relentless heart!"*
