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!
