God’s Gifts of Grace and Love

Dear Father, for Your many gifts
That show Your grace and love
I want to thank You, for I know
You send them from above.

For food and clothes, for where I live,
For sunshine and for rain,
For music, beauty, knowledge, words,
For happiness and pain,

For friends and loved ones, home and church,
For friendship, love, and care,
For bonds in Christ, for fellowship,
For memories we share,

For Jesus Christ who died for me,
For pardon through His Name,
For peace, salvation, life that lasts,
For grace that I can claim,

For these and more I bring to You
A heart that’s full of praise.
I see through each Your grace and love
That brighten all my days.
