Each night when I turn out the light and close my eyes to pray,
Frustration builds within me when there just aren't words to say
How truly thankful that I am for all that You have done
In my life and all around me, and the fact You've just begun.

I need to find new, better words to praise and thank You, Lord;
New thoughts and flowery phrases need to be explored.
I want to show You all the things I'm holding in my heart
And hope that they will please You, like a lovely work of art.

You raised me from the asxhes of what my life had been
And put me in a brand, new place where I could start again.
You give me everything I need so I'm able to survive,
But more...You give me faith and trust to not just live, but thrive.

You've placed me where your beauty constantly surrounds me
And given all the things I love to always be around me.
You've taken all the pain and grief that emptied out my soul
And have given me unending joy, which fills the gaping hole.

"Thank You" are such little words and just cannot express
The greatness of my gratitude for Your love and faithfulness;
For the multitude of blessings that You give me every day;
For the knowledge that You're always there to lead me in Your way.

I'm thankful for so many things I can't even count them all
And my only way of telling You is so insignificant...so small.
But all I have is Thank You, Lord, for everything You do.
I love You and I praise You and I live for only You!
