O Give Thanks to the Lord

 

 O give thanks to the Lord

We are not counted among the dead

He still gives us our daily bread

He guides us to His desired haven

He has promised us heaven

 

O give thanks to the Lord

He healed us of all our diseases

Made a way for us the crises

Shielded us from the scourge of the tongue

And turns for our good every wrong.

O give thanks to the Lord

Who forgives us all our sins

And lifts us from diabolical bins

Who crowns us with love

As those born from above

 

O give thanks to the Lord

Who made us His righteousness

Cleansing us from all unrighteousness

Granting us His loving-kindness

Covering all our nakedness

 

O give thanks to the Lord

Who ended our blindness

Helps us in all our weakness

Who leads us to green pastures

And holds in His hands our futures

 

O give thanks to the Lord

Who grants us compassion

And gives us protection

Who renews our youth like the eagle’s

Enables us to leap over hurdles.

 

O give thanks to the Lord

Who makes our crooked paths straight

And makes Himself our strength

Giving us a higher playing field

And becoming our Bulwark and Shield.
