For grace and answered prayer
For favor, help, and blessings

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.

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.

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

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.

by Christina Joy Hommes | Christian Poetry, Poems to Pray, Praising the Lord
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
