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.  We pause to reflect on and thank You for your wonderful creation, for Jesus, and for your blessings today and throughout our lives …

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 your love in Jesus our Saviour.  Amen.
