Have I Told You Thank You Lately?

Have I told you "Thank You" lately, Lord,
for all You've done for me,
like sending down Your precious Son,
to die on Calvary's tree?

Or giving me the food I eat,
the clothes I wear each day,
Your Spirit to indwell me,
to guide me in my ways.

My cozy home in which to dwell,
and our jobs to keep us fed,
the knowledge that I'll be kept safe,
as I lay asleep in bed.

For all my friends and loved ones,
for blessings from above,
for giving me eternal life,
and everlasting love.

Have I said, "I love You" lately, Lord;
if I haven't, let me now.
I can't wait for my redemption,
where before You, I will bow!
