Thank You LORD!
Thank You Lord for Your Great Mercy
That flows from You above,
Thank You Lord for the River of Life
That's filled with Your Great Love.
Thank You Lord, that You're my Rock
The Rock on which I stand,
Thank You Lord, that You're my Guide
Who guides me by His Hand.
Thank You Lord that You're my Shield
In each battle I do face,
Thank You Lord that You're ever near
To cover me by Your Grace.
Thank You Lord that You're my King
Who rules upon the Throne,
Thank You Lord that in the darkest times
I need never to stand alone.
Thank You Lord for the inner Peace
That You have given me,
Thank You Lord that in You goodness From
amidst the storm You've set me free.

Again I Thank You Lord !
I thank You Lord for Your Mercies
For Your Goodness and Your Grace too,
I thank You Lord how You do keep us
As we yield our lives to You.
I thank You Lord for the blessing
And for all that You gave me,
I thank You Lord for my friends
And for all my family.
I thank You Lord for the peace and joy
That dwells within my soul,
I thank You Lord that I once broken
Have been by You, made whole.
I thank You Lord You are close by
And never far from me,
Whether upon the crest of the hill
Or down in the deep valley.
I thank You Lord, You stood by me
In all You've taken me through,
But most of all I want to give thanks
That I have come to know You.
I thank You Jesus, You are my Lord
And that You are my King
I thank You my Lord Jesus Christ
You have defeated death's sting.

With A Heart of
Gratitude!
When down in the deep dark valley
As I saw what lay before me,
I feared as to how I could possibly cope
As I struggle each day to see.
As I looked at what seemed like a mountain
And I felt in no way could I cope,
You Lord brought me Your assurance
That You would help me up the slope.
I felt You say to me each day
To take one day at a time,
To not struggle but rest in You
As I walk on up the incline.
As I daily climbed up ever higher
And I struggled at times to cope,
You gave me strength for each new day
You gave me much needed hope.
As I endeavoured to take each step
And keep my eyes on You,
Lord, I found I was able to cope
As You did bring me through.
As I climbed ever much higher
And looked back to where I had come from,
I marvelled Lord at how I had coped
In my weakness You made me strong.
As time went by and I pressed on
The mountain seemed to disappear,
And I know I could never have coped
If Lord, You weren't ever near.
So my Lord, with a heart of gratitude
I thank You for how You care,
And how in all that I have been through
You Lord were always there.

Thank You My Lord Again!
Thank You is that very special word
That we can never say too much,
For only as we forget to say it when we should
Do we really get out of touch.
Out of touch with the Lord our Creator
Who blesses us day by day,
As we often take things so much for granted
In life each step of the way.
We forget to thank Him for the air we breath
And the food we daily do eat,
We forget to thank Him how as needs arise
Each need He helps us to meet.
We forget to thank Him for the clothes we wear
And the shelter we have over our head,
We forget to thank Him at the end of each day
As we lay down upon our bed.
We forget to thank Him for the home we live in
When many have no home at all,
We forget to thank Him all too often
For things no matter how small.
We forget to thank Him for the rain that falls
To moisten the parched land within,
We forget to thank Him for the running water
We can drink and wash ourselves in.
We forget to thank Him for all that we have
And that we in time have acquired,
We forget to thank Him, how in His love
He provided all we required.
We forget to thank Him for all our friends
That we in time have come to know,
We forget to thank Him for all our provisions
In life as we daily do grow.
We forget to thank him for the freedom we have
To worship and praise Him each day,
We forget to thank Him that He who so loved us
For our sins, His life, did He pay.
We forget to thank Him that death is defeated
No longer are we bound by chains,
We forget to thank Him for the new life birthed within.
With Him to now ever reign.
Dear Lord, why are we often so thankless
Forgive us Lord we now pray,
Help us Lord to be truly thankful
For the blessings we receive each day.
Help us Lord to be ever mindful
And grateful in life each day,
Help us Lord to never forget
You're the Life, the Truth, the Way.

Know This Today My Friend !
Know this my friend it is because of Jesus that you are here
For He by His Spirit, is seeking you to draw near,
Yes near to Him today, by turning away from sadness and fear
Into His Arms of Love, so He may make your way clear.
Yes your way out of the wilderness, into that place of security
Yes out of your place of loneliness, just as He did for me,
Yes out of your place of hopelessness, into where you can
forever be
Living close to our Lord Jesus, through His Grace and Mercy.
Know this my friend, I am a child of the King
Yes of my Lord Jesus Christ, who has redeemed me from sin.
But now it is up to you, to so allow Him to come in
Yes into your life today, so that He too may become your King.
So that He too, may become your Saviour I say
So that He too, may so wash all your sins away,
So that he too, will take you into His Arms of Love today
If this is what you want, then with me my friend say.
I confess I am a sinner Jesus, yes today it is true
There is no other way to salvation, other than the Cross through
You
I confess I am a sinner my Jesus, forgive me of my sin I pray
I claim my salvation by Your Blood and now unto You I say.
Please come into my life Jesus, to become my Lord
Please come into my life today, Christ to be my King,
Please come into my life today, for I am a sinner indeed
And only You can set me free, forevermore from my sin.
By the Power of Your Blood, You shed for me in Love
Upon the Cross of Calvary, where You bore my sin one day
Please come into my life to fill up the emptiness within
Yes please come into my life now, so that I may, I pray.
Begin my new life in You my Lord, as a child of God today
Washed clean by Your Blood, from the power of all sin,
A new life in You, forevermore My Lord Jesus Christ
From now on and forever, as a child of the King. AMEN !!!
Thank You my Jesus, Thank
You for becoming My Saviour, My Lord and
My King today !!!
