Thank You Lord--By Phyllis Babcock--Canada

Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord for the blessings we receive
For your guidance and ever watchful eye
Guiding us into each new day
For leading us in our lost moments
Allowing us to grow and find the right pathway

**********

Giving us courage to face each new challenge
Guiding us in the proper manner
Picking us up when we stumble
Teaching us how to become whole
Making us acceptable in the way of the Lord

**********
