My Heart

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

God, you know my heart
Better than I do;
You know how very much
I love you.

Thank you for the love you give
Each and every day.
Thank you for your grace and mercy
That you send my way.

Thank you for sending Jesus
To save us all.
Without Him in our lives
How we would fall.

Thank you for your Word that gives
Guidance to our life.
Thank you for being there
When I am dealing with strife.

Thank you for listening to my needs
As I pray.
Thank you for bringing me back
When I have strayed.

Thank you, God, for all
You have given me.
And, thank you, Jesus
For setting me free.

We Give You Thanks

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Thank you, God, for all you give,
For helping us each day to live.
Your grace is there when we fall short,
You lift us up, giving us support.

Though we don't earn the love you show,
In serving others, we can grow.
To show our thanks, our hearts will strive,
To share your love and truly thrive.

With every act, both big and small,
We honor you and heed your call.
Through service, love, and gentle care,
We give you thanks by what we do and in our prayers.

The Love
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Let me never take for granted
The love that you give.
Thank you, God for creating me
And letting me live.

Thank you, God for watching
Over family and friends
Thank you, God for being
With me to the end.

Thank you, God for sending
Jesus Your Son, so
Your love we will
Always know.

Thanks For Everything

Poet: J. C. Barcus

For all that God in mercy sends.
For health and children, home and friends;
For comfort in the time of need.
For every kindly word and deed.
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk;
For everything give thanks.

For beauty in this world of ours,
For verdant grass and lovely flowers,
For song of birds, for hum of bees,
For refreshing summer breeze;
For hill and plain, for streams and wood.
For the great ocean's mighty flood.
For everything give thanks.

For sweet sleep which comes with night,
For the returning morning's light.
For the stars glittering in the sky,
For these and everything we see,
O, Lord our hearts we lift to Thee,
For everything give thanks.

Thank you, God, for being near For wiping away my every tear For carrying me through every fear I am grateful that you are always here

Thank God For His Gifts

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

So often in this world, we think
Our accomplishments we have done
But may we never forget, God gave us gifts,
He gave us His Son.

You have given us
Let me be thankful
And not make a fuss.

When things don't go my way
I must remember you above
As your timing is better
And you are full of love.

Thank You, God

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

I never say it enough,
But thank you God for
Forgiving me
And for not keeping score.

I am far from perfect,
Jesus was the only one
Perfect in love,
Thank you, God, for your Son.

Help me Father to recognize the many times
You have blessed me
Thank you, God, for all the beauty of the world
You created for me to see.

Thank you, God, for being with me For loving me unconditionally For sending Jesus, Your son, to set me free I am forever grateful, blessed and thankful to be A child of Yours, eternally.

Quicken Our Gratitude

Poet: William Dean Howells

Lord, for the erring thought
Not into evil wrought;
Lord, for the wicked will
Betrayed and baffled still;
For the heart from itself kept,
Our thanksgiving accept.

For ignorant hopes that were
Broken to our blind prayer;
For pain, death, sorrow, sent
Unto our chastisement;
For all loss of seeming good,
Quicken our gratitude.

Thank God For Those Who Serve

Thank you God,
With great respect
We graciously thank you
For those who serve and protect.

Though danger be near and
The night is chilly and long,
We praise You for those -
Bless their courage so brave and strong.

Protect them from harm,
This and every day,
Watch over their families
From worry far away.

Their sacrifice grand allows us to
Lay our heads down at night,
Therefore Lord in Heaven,
Please grant these heroes great might!

Thanks For

Poet: Amos Niven Wilder

Be our daily bread withheld, be it given,
Thanks for the bread from heaven;
Though on sense disease and pain come stealing,
Thanks for the spirits healing;
Thanks, when the springs of impulse are defiled,
For the renewing candor of the child;
Thanks, when the years sully the face of truth,
For the resurgent heart of youth.

Thanks, though we be cast off, unknown, alone,
Thanks that we are well known,
And though our outward man and lot decay,
The spirit kindles day by day;
Thanks that our sorrow by thine alchemy
Turns out to be the very fuel of glee,
That from our utter penury, we bless,
And having nothing, all things still possess.

We Thank You Lord
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Thank you God, for love so true,
For sending Jesus, your beloved son anew.
We humbly bow before your grace so kind,
In awe of the gift of life, we find.
I am so grateful and give you all praise,
We thank you Lord in countless ways.
