I am so thankful to know You
Day by day I’m learning Your heart
Moment by moment You are so real
I’m overwhelmed with all You impart
I think back to before I knew You
You seemed so far; miles above
I heard Your name but not Your heart
Hidden from me was Your wonderful love
I am so grateful I learned to pray
It’s incredible how You respond faithfully
When I share all my concerns and needs
Your answers delight and surprise me
Sometimes my circumstances change
And my problems seem to disappear
Practical solutions pour into my mind
And simplicity prevails, so dear
Other times my trials remain
And I cry to You in my distress
Your grace, comfort and peace amaze me
And no longer do I come under the stress
I praise You, Lord, for the Bible
Your Words are the only truth
They have become my life
As I ask You what I should do
No longer am I lonely
No longer am I sad
Time in prayer and Your Word
Transforms me, and I am glad
The heavenly principles I have learned
The pure wisdom You provide
A future full of joy and hope
In Your thoughts I choose to abide
Your Holy Spirit is my teacher
Your angels guard my every way
Jesus loves me and died for my sins
And He lives to help me each day
Oh, Heavenly Father, You summoned all heaven
To aid us here, in the enemy’s land
You loved us, so to rescue us
You made a sacrificial plan
I think of how someday I will live
In a beautiful home in the heavenly sky
Surrounded by Your safety and loving care
An ambassador to other worlds, I will fly
To tell those on far, far planets
What Jesus has done for me
He changed me and my life completely
Form every chain He sets me free
Dear God, how precious You are
I am in awe of everything You do
Your character is perfectly sweet
My thankful heart exclaims, I love You!
With Jesus’ help we will continually offer our sacrifice of praise to God by telling others of the glory of His name [character]. Hebrews 13:15, The Living Bible
