For Every Blessing

For Every Blessing

For every tender kindness
And blessing from above
For every gift of goodness
That shows Your perfect love

For every timely answer
That shows You hear my prayer
For every special blessing
That helps me see You’re there

For every wise direction
That keeps me far from sin
For guiding by Your Spirit
Who rules my heart within

For giving me the Bible
To teach what’s true and right
For every word of promise
That gives me strength and light

For sending Christ my Savior
To face the cross for me
For giving me salvation
Eternal, full, and free

For loved ones and for friendships
For church and all we share
For teaching me the gospel
To scatter everywhere

For beauty in creation
That shows Your strength and skill
For keeping and sustaining
According to Your will

For telling me of heaven
And endless life above
For all that You’re preparing
To show Your perfect love

For all of these, dear Father,
And so much more I raise
A heart of love and worship
That brings this thankful praise
