We thank you for these years


We praise you for your presence
your hand upon our lives
we thank you for the year ending
the blessings of love
Thank you for your gifts
your walking here with us
for your protection
for your love poured out
thank you for your guiding
your hand upon our lives

We thank you for the year to come
for our hope for tomorrow
knowing you are with us
in our joys and our sorrows
we thank you for your presence
for your Spirit within
in our hopes, our struggles
in the time here on earth
thank you for your guiding
for your love poured out
thank you for your blessings
your hand upon our lives
