I thank God.

 I Thank God

A Heart of Gratitude

I thank God—not just when the sun is bright,

But in the shadows of the longest night.

I thank Him for His faithfulness and grace,

For mercy new that meets me face to face.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. (Psalm 118:1)

I thank God for the breath within my lungs,

For every song my grateful spirit sings.

For daily bread, for shelter from the storm,

For arms that keep me safe and warm.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights. (James 1:17)

I thank God for the cross, the empty grave,

The life He gave, the world He came to save.

For Jesus, my Redeemer, Friend, and King,

For all the hope His resurrection brings.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15)

I thank God in the waiting and the pain,

For He is working all things for my gain.

I thank Him when I cannot see the way,

Because He is my light and my display.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

So let my life be one continuous prayer,

A thankful heart beyond all earthly care.

I thank God—not for what I have or hold,

But for His love that never will grow old.

Amen.
