“…give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

To You, O Lord,
Endless thanks we give,
For Your limitless love,
For life to live,

For grace abounding,
For beauty in all things,
For the deep joy
Your divine love brings,

For smiling children,
For families so dear,
For seasonal celebrations
Drawing loved ones near.

Yes, Lord Jesus,
Thanksgiving we raise
With songs of love,
With hymns of praise.

Thankful each day
May we be,
With our eyes fixed
On eternity,

Holding You
To our hearts so dear,
Rejoicing how You
Are always near,

Smiling in radiance
Your presence brings,
Lifting our hearts
As on angel’s wings.

Yes, wonderful it is
This life to live…
So to You, Lord Jesus,
Endless thanks we give!

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…” (Matthew 5:44)

Choose love, My child,
No matter what may,
Choose love, little one,
Throughout your day,

Choose love faithfully
When all is awry,
Choose love surely
When you find yourself cry,

Yes, choose love
Through joy and pain,
Through mountains and valleys,
Through sunshine and rain,

Through each gain,
Through each defeat,
Through times of loss,
Through victory sweet.

No matter what comes
Let love be your choice,
Let it be the reason
Your heart does rejoice,

Let it be sunshine
To wash away the rain,
The brilliant beams
To melt the pain,

The miraculous light
Every raindrop to dry,
The rainbow to follow
When tears you cry.

Yes, choose love, child,
No matter what may…
And blessed will be
Your Heaven-bound way!
