Thank You, Lord!

This week I have enjoyed posting songs of Thanksgiving to remind us of how blessed we are and how very much we have to be thankful for! 
In II Corinthians 9:15, we read:  "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift."

I have often sung the chorus, "Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul . . .", but I don't remember ever hearing the verses to the song.  "The words of this hymn by Seth Sykes have been greatly used of God since they were written in 1940 to allow believers to offer praise for the gift of their salvation."

     "Some thank the Lord for friends and home,
for mercies sure and sweet;
     But I would praise Him for His grace --
In prayer I would repeat:
     Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul; Thank You, Lord, for making me whole.
Thank You, Lord, for giving to me, Thy great salvation so rich and free.

     Some thank Him for the flowers that grow,
some for the stars that shine.
     My heart is filled with joy and praise,
Because I know He's mine.

     I trust in Him from day to day;
I prove His saving grace;
     I'll sing this song of praise to Him,
Until I see His face.

     Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul;
Thank You, Lord, for making me whole.
     Thank You, Lord, for giving to me --
Thy great salvation so rich and free."
    
Let us carry this lovely little musical prayer in our hearts throughout this blessed season!

My daughter is picking me up soon to travel to Kansas City for the wedding of my great-niece, and then I am staying through Thanksgiving with my son Jonathan and family.
Since I won't be posting next week, I want to wish each of you a very blessed Thanksgiving!!  May God bless you as you "count your many blessings -- name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done!"
