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
…

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 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 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.

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9

“Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drop fatness.” Psalm 65:11

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.

He gives me friends and loved ones,
And calls Himself my Friend;
He’s made me heir of heaven
With life that has no end.

His every Word and promise
Is faithful, sure, and true;
His Spirit dwells within me
To strengthen and renew.

And even in the valleys
He’s with me all the way
To guide and guard and cheer me
Until the break of day.

Each day His countless blessings
Run over from above.
Lord, thank You for Your goodness
So full of grace and love!

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.

Christina Joy Hommes

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

Christina Joy Hommes

The Earth Declares Your Glory

The earth declares your glory
From morning through the night,
You give the dawn its beauty
And lend the sun its light.

Your power and your goodness
Are always on display
In regal mountain grandeur
And when the sparrows play.

The seed time and the harvest,
Spring rains and winter snow
Reveal Your faithful mercies
As seasons come and go.

The whole creation praises
Your glory from above –
A witness of Your greatness
That shows Your strength and love.

Christina Joy Hommes

For Blessings So Abundant

For grace that’s all sufficient
For mercy ever new
For love that’s everlasting
I lift my heart to You

For truth that never changes
For peace that reigns within
For guidance from Your Spirit
For pardon for my sin

For blessings so abundant
For sleep and daily bread
For promises enduring
For paths where I’ve been led

For giving me Your favor
For making me a place
For Jesus and salvation
For purpose in life’s race

For lasting joy and gladness
For all of this and more
For loving me, dear Father,
I praise You evermore

Christina Joy Hommes

I Love You, Lord

Lord Jesus, You have loved me
As no one else could do –
You came and died to save me
And make me one with You.

You daily guide and help me,
You strengthen me with grace,
You send such loving blessings
That show Your smiling face.

Now I can’t help but love You
My Savior, Friend, and King;
I bring my heart’s devotion
And lift my voice to sing.

I’ll walk with You each moment
And live in such a way
The world can see Your glory
In all I do and say.

For You’re my dearest Treasure,
The One that I adore;
Until the day I see You
I’ll love You more and more.
