This Year’s Blessings

This Year’s Blessings

This year with all its blessings
Its sorrow and delight
Has been a sort of window
To bring God’s grace to light.

I’ve seen my Father’s goodness,
His kindness, love, and care,
I’ve sensed His loving presence
And known He’s always there.

I’ve seen my sinful weakness,
And yet I’ve also grown
In trusting and obeying
The path the Lord has shown.

I’ve seen the strength of friendship
That’s just as strong at night
As in the blaze of morning
When all is glad and bright.

I’ve seen the faithful working
That shows God hears my prayer
And answers in His wisdom
With mercy, strength, and care.

I’ve seen such loving favor
In blessings day by day
That show my Savior’s presence
Along life’s winding way.

Lord, thank You for these blessings
You’ve given me this year
That show Your love and power
And make Your goodness clear.
