I thank you for the food we eat,

A soft clean bed on which I sleep.

I thank you that you've given me

A lovely country that is free.

I'm thankful for the bright sunlight,

The moon and stars that shine at night;

For my home and family, too,

The fields of flowers, and morning dew.

I'm thankful for your love and care,

And nature’s beauty that we share.

I thank you for the rod you bear;

And that your laws are just and fair.

I'm grateful for salvation's plan;

Redemption for rebellious man,

And that you came and paid the price

With heaven's greatest sacrifice.

I'm thankful for abundant grace,

That in your plan we share a place;

When you made your sovereign plan,

You were mindful of the mortal man.

So much you've given us each day,

It's more than any man can say.

I thank you most because you're there,

To hear a lowly sinner's prayer.
