When I Lord!

When I was hungry You fed me Lord
When I was naked You clothed me too,
When I was cold You made me warm
May I never forget to, for Your Goodness thank You.
When I was lost You took my hand my Lord
When I as blind You lead the way,
When I was confused You assured me
May I for Your Goodness, thank You Lord every day.

When I was unable You enabled me Lord
When I was weak You made me strong,
When I was sick You help me to overcome
May I for Your Goodness, ever thank You as I press on.
When I was lonely You comforted me Lord
When I was troubled You brought me Your Peace,
When I was tired You brought me rest
May my thanks to You, for Your Goodness shall never cease.

When I was poor You blessed me Lord
When I was fallen You helped me to stand,
When I was in need my need You met
May I thank You for You in Your Goodness, as You hold my hand.
When I faced death You spoke to me Lord
When I was in grief You comforted me too,
When I was at a loss You gave me a purpose
May I daily for Your Goodness, never cease to Lord thank You.

O Lord, What Could I Say ?

O Lord You've been so good to me
You've stood by me every day,
You've heard my cry and answered me
What me could I say.
Other than thank You for Your Love
And for how You do so care,
And how for each and every need
You Lord are so aware.
In Your time You've met many of my needs
As I've cried out to You,
And I know that in due time
You'll meet the others too.
As I put my faith and trust in You
Each and every day,
No matter the circumstance I face
Along life's winding way.
So from deep within my heart O Lord
I say a special thank You,
For all the blessings bestowed on me
And how my needs You've met too.

Refreshing Water!

Refreshing water from Your Mountain O Lord
Flows through me each day,
Revitalising my body, my soul, my being
Taking all weariness away.
As I immerse myself in the running stream
Springing forth from Your Mountain of Love,
Meandering its way to the sea of humanity
As it flows from You Lord above.
As I partake of Your abundant blessings
In a way far greater than before,
I realise how much You've given to me
Yet each day still give me much more.
For which my Jesus I so want to daily
With all of my heart so say,
Thank You Lord for Your crystal clear water
Refreshing my being each day.

Truly Lord !

Truly Lord You are so worthy, to receive our praise and more,
Truly Lord You are so worthy, today as ever before.
For Lord You are the Lord of lords, You are the King of kings,
You are to us along life's way, everyday our everything.
Outside of You life has no meaning, while in You it has no end,
Now from deep in our hearts, we thank You our very special friend.
We thank You how in Your Love for us, You died so in order to do,
Set creation free from sin, to redeem all who believe in You.
We thank You that when we were blind, You opened our eyes to see,
Breaking the chains that bound creation and setting them forever free.
We thank You Lord that we each day, as we hope and trust in You,
Are able to bear life's ups and downs, indeed all life takes us through.
Through Your enabling throughout our life, as we walk on day by day,
Abiding with You our very dear friend, close by us each step of the way.
