Poetic Scripture II

THANK YOU

What a day to give praise,

Because the Lord has awoke me today.

Now I am thanking Him for His love,

Thankful for the one true God above.

Thankful for the air I breathe,

And for loving me when I didn't believe.

Thank you for the food I eat,

And yet some starve for days and weeks.

Thank you that I'm able to give to those in need,

Thank you that I'm able to comfort those who grieve.

Thank you for the water I'm able to drink,

Thank you for my mind and I'm able to think.

Thank you for my job, which is a blessing,

Now I'm on bended knee and I'm confessing.

I thank you for sparing my life,

And watching over this sinner every night.

Thank you for fighting my battles hidden from my sight,

I am grateful none can withstand your power and might.

I am thankful for your grace and mercy,

And that I'm not alone, you are walking with me.

I do not need to walk through the valley of death,

Nor do I need to be close to my last breath.

I am thanking you now and every day,

I thank you more and more as I pray.

I can thank you during the good times,

I know you have never left my heart and mind.

Thank you for watching over me,

Thank you for putting your spirit in me.

Thank you for all my family and friends,

We pray together and know that this is not the end.

Thankful that you will come again in your Father's name,

Thankful I'm able to stand for you unashamed.

With your bloodshed on the cross,

I'm thankful all is not lost.

Thankful for the lamb's blood of your son,

And I know the darkness will never come.

With all the struggles in my life,

Thankful for Jesus because He is the light.

No matter how depressed or feeling down,

The first shall be last and the last will wear a crown.

Thankful for the power in Jesus name,

Thankful He can break every chain.

I am thankful for my redeemer,

I am thankful for my deliverer.

I am thankful for my provider,

I am thankful for my healer.

Thankful no weapon forged against me will prevail,

This is your promise Father and you never fail.

The mountains may shake, and the hills may be moved,

Thankful for your unfailing love that can never be removed.

Thankful for the first day you breathed life into me,

You have blessed me with your grace and mercy.

Thankful for being slow to anger and abounding love,

Thankful for the one true God above.

Thankful for my guardian Angel as my protection,

And for listening to my prayers as our connection.

Thank you, Father you are my everything,

Thanking you when I lift my voice and sing.

Father, I can go on and on,

This would be an endless poem.

All you have done and all you will do,

I will end this by saying, I love you.

Amen
