Innerweave: The Wholeness Story

Thanking God for Life: A to Z
 
    Although things are not perfect
 
    Because of trial and pain
 
    Continue in Thanksgiving
 
    Do not begin to blame
 
    Even when the times are hard
 
    Fierce winds are bound to blow
 
    God is forever able
 
    Hold on to what you know
 
    Imagine life without His love
 
    Joy would cease to be
 
    Keep thanking Him for all the things
 
    Love imparts to thee
 
    Move out of “Camp Complaining”
 
    No weapon that is known
 
    On earth can yield the power
 
    Praise and thanksgiving can do alone
 
    Quit looking at the future
 
    Redeem the time at hand
 
    Start every day with worship
 
    To thank is an offering
 
    Until we see Him coming
 
    Victorious in the sky
 
    We’ll run the race with gratitude
 
    Yes there’ll be good times
            and yes some will be bad, but…
 
    Zion waits in glory
            Where none are ever sad.
