The Thankful Heart
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I give thanks unto the Lord,
I sing praise with my whole heart;
Being so loved and adored,
Your precepts I do impart.
I bow down upon my knees,
Steadfast love, I do proclaim;
Comforting feeling at ease,
For faithfulness is Your name.
I exalt You above all,
Of Your Word above all things;
You answer me when I call,
A strengthened soul that it brings.
All of the kings of the earth,
The Word from You they have heard;
Knowing of their priceless worth,
And that You are King and Lord.
Of great glory, they shall sing,
In the ways of You O Lord;
For You are the Lord and King,
And will be loved and adored.
Even though the Lord is high,
You will respect the fawner;
But You hear the haughty cry,
Ignored for their dishonor.
Though I walk into trouble,
You revive and save my life;
Pulling out of the rubble,
Amongst the toils and strife.
You stretch out against the wrath,
Delivering from my foes;
And blocking it from my path,
Guiding me where the light glows.
You endure forever,
Forsaking not with Your hands;
Steadfast love will not sever,
What Your faithfulness demands.
