Every good gift and
every perfect gift
is from above, and
comes down from the
Father of lights...
James 1:17

Thank you, Lord, for knowing me,
As no one has before;
For all your gifts, and even when
I sometimes ask for more.

Thank you, Lord, for standing by,
Though times be good or bad;
For never throwing up to me
The chances I have had.

Thank you, Lord, for picking up
The pieces when they fall;
For always being near enough
To hear me when I call.

Thank you, Lord, for holding on
To me, when I would let go;
For finding, deep within my heart
The things that never show.

Thank you, Lord, for promises
You never fail to keep;
For counting every heartbeat
When I lay me down to sleep.

Thank you, Lord, for mercy,
And for wisdom that you show;
For sometimes saying "Yes" to me...
And sometimes saying "No".

Thank you, Lord, for patience,
When I feel like giving up;
For adding honey to the dregs
I taste withing my cup.

Thank you, Lord, for loving me,
As no one else can
For wishing me an angel,
But seeing me .... a man.
