Days To Come

Thank you for life, my Jesus

Thank you for fires and pine-laden breezes

Thank you rainy days and puppy dogs

Thank you for starry skies and newborns

Thank you for ocean spray

Thank you for ripe fruit and fresh milk

Thank you for all my senses

Thank you for ten fingers and ten toes

Thank you for all thirty-two teeth

Thank you for words of beauty

Thank you for landscapes that grace the soul

Thank you, Lord for very single second

Thank you even for the confusion

Thank you even for the pain

Thank you, for saving me

Thank you, through every trial

Thank you for bringing me home again

Thank you for Life, Lord Jesus

Thank you for little lambs that play

Thank you for the music of children's voice's

Thank you for the leaves upon the trees

Thank you for the rushing rivers

Thank you the rounded rocks beneath

Thank you of the strength to start each day

Thank you for the love of all who hold me

Thank you for the chance to give it back

Thank you for walking here among us

Thank you, so we could know you

Thank you, and know your road

Thank you for coming in those moments

Thank you, when all seems lost

Thank you, when I'm ready to cave in

Thank you for life, I do not understand it

Thank you, Jesus, for many days to come
