You Deserve All Praise
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
Because of who You are –
The mighty God of endless days
Exalted near and far.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
Because of what You do –
You guide us through life’s winding maze
With mercies ever new.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
And honor evermore –
We marvel at Your mighty ways,
Your kindness we adore.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise –
Accept the love we bring;
To You alone our song we raise
Our Maker, Savior, King.

My Heart Is Full and Grateful
How can I rightly thank You
For all Your gifts of love
So kind and so abundant
Each sent from heav’n above?
How could the largest language,
The longest book proclaim
The richness of Your goodness,
The glories of Your Name?
How could the greatest preacher,
The sweetest singer here
Extol Your strength and wisdom
Which every day appear?
Each day I’ll keep on trying
To say a little more
Of all Your depths of mercy
And then forevermore,
For You alone are worthy
Of honor, glory, praise,
Of worship, adoration
Throughout eternal days.
So, though I can’t express it
In fullness, yet I’d say,
“My heart is full and grateful!”
Accept my praise, I pray.

What God Will Be This Year
My God is good and faithful –
He proved it once again
Throughout the year behind us
In what He’s done and been.
My God is true and righteous –
His Word has passed each test
Through days now past to show us
That He is still the best.
My God is kind and loving –
His gifts of grace have shown
A year of tender mercy
Extended to His own.
My God still changes never –
So what He was last year
He’ll be again to bless us
And show us that He’s near.
