Thoughtfully Thankful

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD... O LORD, how great are Thy works!  And Thy thoughts are very deep" (Psalm 92:1-5).  "Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?" (Proverbs 20:9).  "Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I...  revive the heart of the contrite ones" (Isaiah 57:15).  "I thank my God...  that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:3-6). 

It's good to occupy our mind

With thoughts about our gracious Lord

To thank Him for His works so kind

For which He rightly is adored. 

For none can cleanse the heart from sin

Apart from Jesus Christ our Savior.

Though He is high, He enters in

The hearts of those who seek His favor. 

Give thanks to God who will complete

The work He has begun by grace

Until in heaven we shall meet

Our precious Savior face to face!  

We come, Lord, with a thankful heart

As thoughtfully we comprehend

That You will finish what You start 

In us by grace until the end.
