We are thankful to you

we are thankful to you
almighty God
not to something less
our bounty, our gifts
all from your hand

we are thankful to you
for life, for our blessings
not something of our works
by grace alone we have these
by grace we have our life

we are thankful to you
for Christ, for your son
for his sacrifice, choosing the cross
taking on our sin

we are thankful to you
for Easter, for Christ’s resurrection
His victory over death
for us our redemption

we are thankful to you
for the promise of his coming
to redeem us home to you
for us a heavenly mansion

we are thankful to you
for all that you have given
for the Spirit with us, leading
on the path you have laid for us

we are thankful today
for our joy, for your promise
we are hopeful for that tomorrow
when we will be with you
