Grateful

5/12/23

 

I’m grateful for the life I have; my family, friends, and work,

My Lord has been so good to me, though I have often shirked

My duties to my God and King, He’s patient all the while,

May my one goal forever be to make my Savior smile.

 

I claim the promise of His peace, I claim His healing too,

I pray that I can always be someone that He finds true,

My life is coming to its end some way in days to come

So let me live it with the bread of gratitude, not crumbs

 

No leftover thanks or hasty words before a meal to say,

Instead, a daily exercise of giving Him His praise,

By living in His light today and letting others see

His grace so full, His mercy fair, His Spirit within me.

 

This is the way to show our God how grateful I can be,

To let His love come shining through to everyone I see.
