I’m thankful for your birth
In a lowly manger’s hay
King of Kings you always were
Yet humbly there you lay
I’m thankful for your life
All the mercies that you showed
Healing everyone who came to you
As you taught us God to know
I’m thankful for your prayer
In the Garden all alone
How you gave to God your will
hat His will might be done
I’m thankful for your blood
That was shed upon that tree
My healing was provided for
That day at Calvary
I’m thankful for your death
You did it all for me
You gave your life away
So that I could be set free
I’m thankful that you rise
And live eternally
Now I can have new life
And live abundantly
I’m thankful that you reign
As the Lamb upon the throne
One day I will stand up there
And worship you alone
Blossoming flowers
Birds in the air
Rain in due season
Clouds white and fair
Moon in last quarter
Stars shining bright
Sun in the heavens
Giving us light
These are things I love in my life
These are the things that make me smile
These are the things for which I give thanks
This Thanksgiving Day
Food on the table
Smells like a dream
Choices of drinks
Pie with whipped cream
Family around us
How blessed we are
People that care
Both near and afar
These are things I love in my life
These are the things that make me smile
These are the things for which I give thanks
This Thanksgiving Day
Joy overflows
Peace overcomes
Love overwhelms
Thanksgiving has come
Most of all thanks
For mercy and grace
That comes from my God
This Thanksgiving Day
These are things I love in my life
These are the things that make me smile
These are the things for which I give thanks
This Thanksgiving Day
I will give thanks to the Lord most High
For His life, for His sacrifice
I will give thanks to the Lord most High
He’s given me new life
I will give thanks for my God above
Fort His constant abiding love
I will give thanks to the Lord above
He provides more than enough
I will give thanks to the King of Kings
He gives me joy and unending peace
I will give thanks to the King of Kings
He is my everything
I will give thanks to Jesus Christ
He gives me victory in the fight
I will give thanks to Jesus Christ
He’s the way, the truth and the life
It really doesn’t matter what happens
Whether good or bad
Whether the enemy attacks of stands back
Whether I stand or fall
Whether I abide in the shelter of His wings
Or walk on my own path alone
It really doesn’t matter if I’m happy or sad
If I’m blessed or in need
If I’m energized or tired
If I can clearly see the future
Or if I have no hope
None of these things should determine
If I give Him thanks
Thanks is due the Lord at all times
In every situation
In every trial
In every test
In every hour of every day
Because He is righteous
He is worthy
He is God in heaven
No matter what happens on this earth
He never changes
His love always remains
His compassion is from generation to generation
His mercy can grace surround us
Like a fortress and a refuge
For all he has already done
Not for what is happening now
I must give Him thanks
Give Him thanks with the fruit of my lips
Give Him thanks by my actions
By working out my salvation
By showing mercy to others
By being full of grace and forgiveness
My thanks is not just words of praise
But works of grace
Feeding the hungry
Quenching the thirty
Brining peace to the troubled
And joy to the sorrowful
I thank Him by spreading His love
By sowing seeds of faith
By sharing the Gospel
Thanks is not an attitude
It is gratitude
Thanks is not a reaction
It is an action
Thanks is not just words
But deeds
Thanks is abiding in Him
Thanks is making disciples
Thanks is preaching the word
Thanks is being in season and out of season
Thanks should inhabit our lives
Overflowing so others will see
Not just hear
Today
This hour
This minute
Give thanks
Give thanks to the Lord for all He has done
For this great creation
For the future He has for you
For the joy that is set before you
Thanks for your friends’
Thanks for your enemies
Thanks for your good times
Thanks for your trials
Thanks for His great compassion on you
No matter what comes
Or what doesn’t come
Give thanks
I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
For His mercy endures forever
I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
He is good. He is good to me
I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
For His love will last forever
I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
He is good. He is good to me
All of my life I had been wandering like a ship without a sail
All of my days were spent as lost as I could be
But as I travelled down the road
Jesus was there to take my load
I was so glad when His mercy covered me
I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
For His mercy endures forever
I want to give thanks to the Lord for He is good
He is good. He is good to me
I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
For His love will last forever
I want to give praise to the Lord for He is good
He is good. He is good to me
All that I need
All that I want
All I require
All of my hope
All of my joy
All I desire
Is in you, Oh Lord
Is in you, Oh Lord
You are my all in all, My everything
You are my wonderful loving King
You are the light that guides my path
You are the way to life that lasts
You are the truth that keeps me safe at night
I will praise you
I will praise you
I will praise you
I will praise you
Where would I be without you, Lord? How could I live without your loving hand holding onto mine? I do not want to go through a day without you by my side. You guide me, protect me, deliver me, provide for me, watch over me, love me and fill me with peace and joy. Life is worth living because you have given me hope. Today, tomorrow and every day to come I will lift my hands to praise you. Ever minute of every second I will lift up my voice and my mind to worship your name. Your name is Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High, Lamb of God, Rose of Sharon, Bright and Morning Star, Alpha and Omega, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. All that I want and need is to know you.
Psalm 16:5 King James Version (KJV)
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
What is it that keeps me coming back to God
What is it that makes me crave His vast and wonders love
What is it that assures me that He is enough
It’s his grace
His wonderful grace
What is it that removes all of my doubts and fears
What is it that dries my eyes and wipes away my tears
What is it that makes my worries all disappear
It’s his grace
His wonderful grace
I thank Him for the grace that He has shown to me
I thank Him for the grace that makes me what I need to be
I thank Him for the grace that caused my heart to see
His great grace
His wonderful Grace
I will sing His Praises my voice will raise up high
I will lift my hands and worship reaching for the sky
The world will know this grace as my words do testify
That He alone is Worthy
Worthy to be praised
He alone is Worthy
I’ll celebrate his grace
He alone is Worthy
One day soon I’ll see his face
All of this from His wonderful grace
