i thank You

 

Today i thank You Lord God for waking up
Today i focus Lord God on your promises

I will never leave you or forsake you (Heb 13:5)

Today i thank You Lord God for the sunlight
Today i focus Lord God on your warmth

The Lord's is the fullness of our earth (Ps 24)

Today i thank You Lord God for the air
Today i focus Lord God on breathing in and out

You breathed into mankind your breath of life (Gen 2:7)

Today i thank You Lord God for my intellect
Today i focus Lord God as i plan my chores

No food at the harvest if too lazy at the plow (Pr 20:4)

Today i thank You Lord God for Jesus
Today i focus Lord God on your redeeming Love

Love each other as I have loved you (Rom 12:10)

i meet today in thanksgiving Lord God;
and i stay focussed today Lord God.
