Thanks for your love, Blessed Savior,

Your mercy beyond compare;

For the patience and goodness you have shown us,

And your ever-abiding care.

Thanks for the rain and the sunshine,

And for the good word we share.

For the confidence to know that you love us,

And for always answering prayer.

Thanks for our families and loved ones,

For friends which are kind and true.

And for the warmth that always surrounds us,

And all of the other things too.

Thanks for the comforter and teacher;

For your blessed rod of correction,

For each cross, each trial, and the process

That is leading us on into perfection.

Bless Yahweh, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name.

Bless Yahweh, Oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all

your iniquities; who heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from destruction,

who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies: Who satisfies your

mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."

Psalm 103:1-5
