Thank You Note



                                               I tried to make a total list
                                               of all God's gifts to me
                                               but I soon stopped because I saw
                                               it went on endlessly

                                               The gifts he gives are many more
                                                than I could ever say
                                                his love as well can not be bound
                                                and guides me every day

                                                I also know that blessings come
                                                not just with joy and gain
                                                at times quite unexpectedly
                                                they're part of trial and pain

                                                I need to have an open heart
                                                whatever life may bring
                                                oh let me magnify the Lord
                                                and let my praises sing

                                                I did not write a litany
                                                to this I have confessed
                                                but I give thanks to Jesus Christ
                                                and know that I am blest
