For kindnesses and mercies
For grace and answered prayer
For favor, help, and blessings
For tender love and care
For guidance and protection
For working out Your will
For peace and sweet assurance
For strength that You instill
For fellowship and friendship
For hope and daily light
For need and wise provision
For songs to cheer the night

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.

Lord, help me remember
The things that You’ve done:
The blessings You’ve sent me,
The battles You’ve won,
Each needed provision
That shows how You care,
The guidance You’ve sent me,
The answers to prayer.
Lord, help me be grateful
For all that You’ve done
And mindful to offer
Real thanks for each one,

I stop to count my blessings
And every time I find
There’s more than I can number
Since God’s so good and kind.
Yet still I love to list them,
These blessings from above,
To praise my God and notice
The greatness of His love.
For breath and life You give me,
For daily food and care,
For timely rain and sunshine,
For mercies everywhere,

With thankful hearts we look above
And see You on Your throne,
We glorify Your mighty Name
And worship You alone.
With thankful hearts we’re looking back
At all the things You’ve done,
We stop to see Your mighty works
And praise them one by one.
With thankful hearts we look around
At blessings from above –
Provision, guidance, answered prayer –
That show Your constant love.

We raise a joyful noise to You
Our Maker, Shepherd, Guide
For endless mercies ever new
And truth that will abide.
We come to serve with cheerful song
And hearts that overflow,
Rejoicing that we each belong
To One who loves us so.
Within Your courts we lift our voice
And bless Your holy Name;
In thankful praise our hearts rejoice –
Your goodness we proclaim.
