Lord of all the earth and sky,
the great “I AM’ who can satisfy.
Thank You for Your creation.
the sweetness of the lark’s bright song,
the beauty of an oak so strong,
the power that makes day break each morn,
We thank You, Great Creator.
O Lord, who has created man,
And designed the family in Your plan,
For this we thank you.
for love that blossoms in the home,
for precious children that You loan,
to need and be needed by someone,
For this we thank You.
O Lord, who gave to man a soul
And provided a way to make him whole,
For this we thank You.
to know the sweetness of Your grace,
the forgiveness that our sins erase,
the joy of Your presence through our days,
For this we thank You.
And one day when our faith is sight,
To be in Your presence, what delight
At last to be able to give thanks aright,
Then, Oh Lord, we will thank you forever.
“Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!”
Psalm 95:2
