THANKFULNESS FROM A-Z...

HERE TO ALL ETERNITY

 

 

 

From A to Z there is always more

On earth we have to be thankful for

 

Still, with Jesus in Eternity

Our greatest blessings will surely be

 

I give thanks, for each joy down here

That Christ brings love, and casts out fear

 

But even more, as this earth I roam

I thank God Heaven is my home

 

This year, as we gather round

Thanksgiving feasts, where food abounds

 

To give thanks for all God has done

And to count our blessings one by one

​

Let’s thank Him not just for blessings here

But also for blessings that will appear

 

As we sit beside the crystal sea

In a Heavenly Home eternally

 

Let’s try and imagine God’s warm embrace

The beauty of living in unending grace

 

The sights and the sounds, we will surely know of

When we spend eternity wrapped in His love

 

Let’s give thanks for the splendor, we will behold

In the King of all Kings as we walk streets of gold

 

Let’s be grateful for blessings, today and days past

Especially those that eternally last!

“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever.”  

Psalm 136:1 (ESV)

 

​

 

 

  “

illed with peace not because I know

How the tide will turn, how the trial will go

Peaceful for Jesus is mine and because

All that I cannot control, God does

 

LOVED

 

Deep inside, waking each day

To a love that is real and has promised to stay

A love that commands, the waves of the sea

And wants the very best for me

 

EMPTIED

 

Letting go of my dreams and plans

Putting my hand in His hand

Being okay I have nothing to bring

Trusting Him for everything

 

ALIGNED

 

Seeking His will and the will to obey

Walking in faith as He leads the way

Wanting most of all to be

Positioned where He is wanting me

 

SURRENDERED

Steadfast faith through thick and thin

Mind and heart, stayed on Him

Surrendered to His will I climb

Knowing His ways are higher than mine

 

INTENTIONAL

Making the most of every minute

He has a purpose if He has me in it

Knowing what He is calling me to

In little things and big things too

 

NOURISHED

In tune to the hunger in my soul

Letting Jesus make me whole

Satisfied just thinking of

The sweetness of my Father’s love

 

GRATEFUL

Letting my wandering heart find rest

In the love of God who loves me best

In God who is perfect in all His ways

And worthy of my thanks and praise

 

"There are many who say, 'Who will show us some good?  Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!'  You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound."  

                                                                                                          Psalm 4:6,7 (ESV)
