Give Thanks To The Lord

Good Morning and Thank You!
                   by Sue C. Weaver

As I awaken each morning-
I thank You for this day,
You wrap your arms around me-
and hold me as I pray.

I thank You Lord for everything-
Your Word has shown to me,
Your love and mercy are new today,
Your faithfulness is plain to see.

You created man to love you-
and that's what I long to do,
stay forever in Your arms,
to worship and honor You!

I thank You for every blessing-
for family, church, and friends,
for home and food and work to do,
and love that never ends.

I thank You Lord for trials-
and tests that make me strong,
for purification in the fire,
for choosing right over what is wrong.

I thank You for the Living Word-
the Word that became a man,
Who came to die upon a cross,
the bridge between us and God did span.

I thank You for the Holy Spirit-
You sent to be our comfort and our guide,
To lead us into every truth-
forever in our hearts abide.

Thank You for the cross, dear Lord-
for forgivness and Your grace,
for salvation by Your own shed blood,
We will one day see Your loving face.

Thank You For Your Great and Awesome Love
