Analysis of Thanksgiving
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I give thanks unto the Lord,
Mentioning you in my prayers;
For you have loved and adored,
Since you know God really cares.
Remember without ceasing,
Of faith and labor of love;
Steadfastness that is pleasing,
To God your Father above.
For we have patience of hope,
In our Lord and savior;
Through this life, while we cope,
And blesses with His favor.
For we know that He chose you.
The Gospel came as His Word;
Full conviction to construe,
From His Spirit, you have heard.
You became imitators,
Through the Word with affliction;
Insults from agitators,
In speaking contradiction.
You are now an example,
To some other believers;
A model for the Gospel,
So they can be receivers.
Not only for sounding out,
But also your faith in God;
Alleviate any doubt,
Why you do honor and laud.
They show us the reception,
How you averted idols;
Steering you toward redemption,
So fire in soul kindles.
Wait for His Son from Heaven,
Who He raised up from the dead;
Through the salvation given,
Saves us from our death bed.
