In every moment
every circumstance
thanking God, for his presence
his provision, guiding us
in happiness, in sorrow
even when we wonder
where God is, how this
could be happening
why pain or suffering
come to us, in this season
still thanking God
not by a worldly standard
but through the wisdom of his grace
pouring out like water
his love for you and me
