Lyrics=
Thank you, Lord, for all your gifts of Grace
and for that wisdom time cannot erase
That certain knowledge, that sustaining food
That comes to us when we feel gratitude
Thank you, Lord, again and again
Thank you for the sorrow and the pain
that informs me when I stray
from the path and from your way
until I find the equilibrium,
that is the core of our perfected state
and... if it takes forever, I can wait
Thank you, lord, forever and anon
for every step from here to kingdom come
for every kiss and every whip
until I can no longer slip
or run away and hide
until I can no longer leave your side
Oh Lord within! Oh shining Lord above
Most of all, we thank you for your love
We thank you for the breath of life
and for the morning sun,
from which you shine your grace on everyone
Truth is at the heart of this balance that I feel,
and your abiding presence is what makes it real
All the world’s an emptiness when you are not around
It doesn’t matter what I lose, if you are what I found
Ages come, and ages go,
and you are everything I know,
and there is nothing more to find
You are that perfect state of mind
You are the brimming fountainhead
of overflowing peace
You are the endless origin
whose wonders never cease
Oh Lord within! Oh shining Lord above
Most of all, we thank you for your love
We thank you for the breath of life
and for the morning sun,
from which you shine your grace on everyone
On this day of gratitude
Oh Lord, what can I say?
Your blessings rain on one and all
You are the wonderland within
You are the center and the spin
You are the spindle and the rim
You are the weeping violin
of notes that pour like honey
on every living thing
You are that perfect unity
of which the angels sing
You are the boundless magnitude
of my undying gratitude.
There are no words, I cannot say
how deeply I feel this today
I only have this moment
this totality of you
this single motivation
in all I say and do
You are the gleaming citadel
that love has built from faith
and all the poetry and art
inspired hearts create
thank you... my Lord!
Thank you... my friend
May this romance never end
Oh Lord within! Oh shining Lord above
Most of all, we thank you for your love
We thank you for the breath of life
and for the morning sun,
from which you shine your grace on everyone
Oh... gracious Lord,
may your Heaven come to Earth
and may your will be done.
and may your will be done
