I will praise You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of the wonderful things You have done. 

Ps 9:1 GNT

You are my God
And I will praise you, 
I thank you 
For mountains 
And valleys,
For birds, trees 
And flowers,
For sunshine
And showers.

You are my God 
And I will praise you,
I thank you 
For goodness 
And kindness,
For life 
In all fullness,
For forgiveness 
And gentleness,
For hope, peace
And promise.

You are my God 
And I will praise You,
I thank you 
For the shoes 
On our feet,
For the food 
That we eat,
For the clothes 
On our back,
For the shelter 
We have.

You are my God 
And I will praise You,
I thank you 
For each 
Brand new day,
For work
Rest and play,
For family 
And friends,
For love
That never ends…

Gracious God, thank You that you are a God of love and goodness; everything we have comes from You.  Thank You for the beauty of your creation all around us.  Thank you for the love that surrounds us and for your blessings today and every day.

Loving God, as we reflect on your blessings may we go out today with loving and thankful hearts.  May our lives reflect the generosity and kindness of the love of Jesus.
