I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU
I may not know how to extol the Lord skilfully,
Let alone exalt Him according to His majesty!
I may not even know how to bless His holy name;
I am not a skilled Psalmist who can write good refrains.
But I can at least give thanks to the Lord my God;
For the salvation He has given me with loving accord.,
He delivered me from many fears that are frightening;
He understands how we weak we are and always sinning.
I can at least learn to sing praises to the Lord who is Great;
And my heart must never pause or even for a moment, hesitate.
Heartfelt thanksgiving and praise to God, the soul must learn;
And to make this a life-long commitment, my heart must yearn!
The way forward is to take time to look backwards in time;
He has always been with us, with His love and power sublime.
If it had not been for the Lord’s amazing grace and mercy;
Our life would have been ruined and riddled with misery!
