Each Day I Have New Reasons
Each day I have new reasons
To praise and thank the Lord
For all His grace and goodness
With faithfulness outpoured.
He loads me down with blessings,
Pursues me with His love,
And follows me with mercy
That leads me home above.
He sends the rain and sunshine,
Good food and clothing, too,
Provides from such abundance
That every day it’s new.

God’s Creation Sings
The beauty of the nighttime sky
That sings its Maker’s praise
The thunder of the crashing waves
That roar His wondrous ways
The glory of the morning sun
That shows His faithfulness
The shadow of the mountains high
That tell His changelessness
The wonder of the growing crops
That show His tender care
The height of clouds that help us see
The Lord is everywhere
…
This God Is Mine
My God the great Creator
Who stretched the starry sky
Who built the earth from nothing
And taught the birds to fly
Who sends the rain and sunshine
Who makes the snowflake shine
Who speaks like roaring thunder
And calls creation “mine”
Who guards the mighty oceans
Who forms the morning dew
Who feeds the tiny sparrow
And clothes the lilies too

His Rightful Praise
His Rightful Praise
There’s no one like the Lord
In patience, love, and might,
In holiness and grace,
In truth and glorious light.
All things belong to Him
Because He made them all –
He holds it all in place
And guides them great and small.
Though angels all rejoiced
And every person sang,
Though birds and oceans joined
And all the heavens rang,
We still could never tell
The greatness of our God
Or rightly praise His worth
And spread His fame abroad.
All glory, blessing, strength,
All honor, love, and praise,
All majesty belongs
To God the King of days.
Eternal and unchanged,
The God of truth and light,
Our worship, thanks, and awe
Are His by sovereign right.

Thank You for Your Love
Thank You for Your Love
My God, I come in humble awe
And thank You for Your love
So vast, so deep, so wonderful
It lifts my heart above.
That God Himself would come to earth
Rejected, tested, poor,
Then take my sin with all its shame
To open heaven’s door.
That Jesus Christ would bear my guilt
And wear it on the tree –
Unjustly lifted up to die
To show His love for me.
That on the cross as darkness fell
And heaven turned away,
He gave Himself to pay my debt
To wash my sins away.
That three days on He broke the chains
That bound me to the grave –
He rose again to live and reign,
To pardon, rescue, save.
That when I was an enemy
He set His love on me
And sent His Spirit in my heart
To make these blind eyes see.
That when I came with nothing good
To offer at His throne,
He welcomed me with matchless grace
To take me as His own.
That though I sin and often fall
He loves me just the same
And lets me have a special part
To magnify His Name.
That when I’m weak and feeling low,
He proves His love indeed
With comfort, strength, and tender care
To meet my every need.
That in a world so marred by sin
He sends such pure delight
With blessings, gifts, provisions, too,
To bring me joy and light.
That someday soon He’ll take me home
To realms of endless love
Where He’s prepared a perfect place
To dwell with me above.
That endless years will never dull
The perfect joy we’ll share,
The oneness of eternal love
To which He’s made me heir.
Oh, what a love I see displayed
In all Your gracious ways!
Lord, help me love You more, I pray,
And lift eternal praise.

A Gratitude Bouquet
A Gratitude Bouquet
The morning sun is up again
To greet a brand new day,
To show God’s praise from east to west
And chase the night away.
The little birds are all awake
And singing to the Lord,
Inviting all who hear their praise
To join each joyful chord.
The flowers, too, are open now
With colors fair and bright,
A silent witness to the care
Of God who gives them light.
I’d like to join the shining sun,
The singing birds today,
With thankful praise that shows God’s love –
A gratitude bouquet.

You Gave Me Strength
You Gave Me Strength
I cried to You in time of need,
You heard my earnest prayer –
From heaven’s height sent grace to help
And proved Your tender care.
You gave me strength when I was weak
Just like You said You would;
I couldn’t do what lay ahead,
But then I found You could.
So here I raise a song of thanks
And lift my heart in praise:
The Lord has done great things for me
And I will trust His ways.

To Him Who’s Overcome
To Him Who’s Overcome
To Him who’s overcome the world
And gives us hope and cheer,
To Him who crushed the bands of death
And freed us from its fear,
To Him who came and died for us
Then rose to live anew,
To Him who gives His life to us
To share His glory, too,
To Him whose love will never fade,
Whose grace will never end,
To Him who cares for every need
And lets us call Him Friend,
To Him who reigns forevermore
From heaven’s throne above,
To Him who’s worthy of our praise
With worship, honor, love,
To Him be glory in the heights
And songs of loudest praise,
To Him be love from every heart
Through all our endless days.

“I have overcome the world.” John 16:33b
At Christ’s Expense
At Christ’s Expense
At Christ’s expense my soul is free
From sin and guilt and shame;
He paid the price to pardon me –
All glory to His Name!
At Christ’s expense I now belong
As child of God and heir;
My Father’s love is vast and strong
And keeps me in His care.
At Christ’s expense I have a home
That He’s prepared for me;
He made the way for me to come
And offered me the key.
At Christ’s expense I have a song,
True hope, real joy, God’s peace,
And while the ages roll along
His praise will never cease.
At Christ’s expense though I was poor
God made me rich in grace,
And now in Christ forevermore
I’ll share my Savior’s place.

Pursues me with His love,

Until the break of day.
Each day His countless blessings
Run over from above.

Creation’s Song
Creation’s Song
The crashing waves that rumble,
The rolling thunder, too,
The patter of the raindrops,
The wind that whistles through,
The murmur of the rivers,
The buzzing of the bees,
The songs of all the songbirds,
The creaking of the trees,
Creation all around us
Is lifting up its song
And constantly invites us
To stop and sing along.
Its constant praise brings glory
To God who reigns above;
Let’s join the grateful chorus
And praise His mighty love.

Praise From the Heart
Praise From the Heart
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That’s seen Your love anew
I lift a song of joyful praise
For all I’ve seen You do
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That overflows today
With all the goodness of Your care
That keeps me in the way
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That knows Your mighty Name
With all the glory of Your grace
This child of Yours can claim
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That knows the joy you bring
Accept this song of loving praise
For You my God and King
