Music and words by Esther Bosworth
For a new day dawning, we thank You;
For a baby yawning, we thank You;
For a summer breeze, we thank You;
For all these things, we thank You.
For a Father's love, we thank You;
For a home above, we thank You;
For the gift You gave, we thank You;
For all we have, we thank You.
Not one of these things we deserve;
Not one of these things we could earn.
Every one of these things
You have given us out of Your love.
For the trials we face, we thank You;
For every day, we thank You;
No matter what they say, we thank You;
In every place, we thank You.
Through all the unknowns, we thank You;
Though we're not yet home, we thank You;
Though we cry and moan, we thank You;
For the grace You've shown, we thank You.
Not one of the stripes You deserved;
Not one ounce of mercy we've earned.
Every one of these things
You have given us out of Your love.
Z
Our voices could never describe
The love You have shown in our lives;
Every one of these praises
We offer You out of our love.
