My Prayers Are All Thanksgiving!

1. My prayers are all thanksgiving 

in the autumn of my life.

And if I enter winter, 

I will praise God for all strife.

More and more I realize 

His WISDOM in all things,

and all the valuable rewards, 

that every trial brings.

It all depends on whether you 

look up or down you see.

But looking up is always where 

true happiness will be.

2. One of the main substances 

your life should be made of

is trusting your Creator, 

who has formed you out of LOVE.

Just as children cling to parents, 

for safety and hope,

God has all the answers, 

and desires to help you cope.

3. But He goes beyond that,

in His efforts to CONSOLE,

working tirelessly, until

you are completely whole.

I have learned this through experience, 

and wish to share,

the very certain truth 

our loving God is always there.

He might be waiting in the shadows, 

but His brilliant light

will suddenly appear and brighten up

the darkest night.

4. My friend, why wait until you have, 

no other choice but Him?

Open up your heart now, 

and invite His presence in.

He will be your consolation, 

HEALING and delight,

protecting you from danger, 

guarding you with all His might.

5. Shed your fear and take a chance. 

You have nothing to lose.

He WAITS close by, with His great love, 

which He will not refuse.

I can witness to His help, 

through my entire life.

He’s met my every need, 

and has delivered me from strife.

And so to praise and honor Him, 

for all He’s done for me,

My prayers will be thanksgiving 

now, and for eternity!
