Give thanks to the LORD
For HE is good
HIS love endures forever
God I thank you for...
The fragile life you gave me
I pray that you'll show me that only you endure
The family I am in
Prepare me to lead my own one day
For the sun, moon, stars and universe
I thank you that Jesus shines brighter and purer than all the angels heaven can boast!
For food, clothing, a house and comfort
Teach me to be thankful as a starving, naked, homeless hobo
For sleep
You alone let me dwell in safety
For the riches you've given me
Teach me to see that joy goes beyond material things
Your church and its encouragement
Stop me from being only on the receiving end
Your people: my brothers and sisters, and spiritual parents that mirror your face
I pray that I, too, can be an example as fallen as I am
For the cross
Never let it lose its power in my life
For the resurrection
For release from sin and death
Let me take advantage over my sins
For the mansion being prepared for me
Let me bring multitudes with me
Heaven with you
Let me be sobered when I think about where the World is going
And who they are going to be with
For school
Prepare me for my future job
For music
It reminds me of how you sing over me
For chances to share my joy
God have mercy on me for missed opportunities
For a free country
Let us not take it for granted
For persecution...
And I pray for more
For love
True love doesn't exist outside of you
Ever...
For hope
Because it never disappoints
For joy in happiness and sorrow
For chaos
You always find me
For confusion
It always leads me back to you
For memories, feelings and emotions
For community
For Life everlasting
Give thanks to the God of heaven
His love endures forever
