In Everything Give Thanks

Lord, thank you for everything that has come my way; 

some of it's not so good but thank you anyway.

Thank you for the troubles that I have gone through day to day; 

without them I might have forgotten to take the time to stop and pray.

Thank you for the sickness my loved ones have gone through;

Thank you that you've used it to build my faith in You. 

                            

Thank you for the many times I felt so all alone;

it was in those dreary times I've knelt before your throne.

Thank Lord for keeping me through the trials along the way;

Thank you for holding me in your hand every single night and day;

Thank you for the times when I felt I couldn't go one step further on;    

'cause it was in those darkest times that you gave me a beautiful song.

Thank you Lord for all the things that have brought me pain and tears;      

For it's in my brokenness of spirit, that I find You so very near. 

There's not a thing that comes my way that you can't see me through;    

So I will lift my hands unto your Name and give eternal praise to you.
