A Thankful Heart
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I give thanks with my whole heart,
Before the Lord I sing praise;
Each day He gives a fresh start,
Being in my heart always.
I will bow down and worship,
Giving thanks unto His name;
He blessings overflow my cup,
His steadfast love I proclaim.
Faithfulness from up above,
Exalting His name and Word;
And flowing His steadfast love,
So soothing each time its heard.
When I call, He answers me,
Strengthening my soul increased;
He opens my eyes to see,
The path to avoid the beast.
All of the kings on the earth,
Shall be giving thanks and praise;
Exalting all of His worth,
Honor Him through all their days.
Sing of the ways of the Lord,
Because His glory is great;
Following in one accord,
Being patient as you wait.
The Lord is extremely high,
With regards to the lowly;
But the haughty will defy,
Never conceived as holy.
Though in the midst of trouble,
The Lord will preserve my life;
Pulling me from the rubble,
Delivering from the strife.
The Lord fulfills His intent,
For me with His steadfast love;
Helping us to be content,
Never forsaking thereof.
