Thank you

Thank you for the sunshine, 
Thank you for the rain.
Thank you for the pleasure, 
Thank you for the pain.

Thank you for the storm clouds,
And thank you for the snow.
For it's only through the hard times
That you teach us how to grow.

Thank you for daily bread, 
Thanks for 'Thy Will Be Done'.
Thanks for being our Shepherd
And for showing us the won -

Derous miracles You work, 
Your power and Your grace.
Salvation that will bring us
To see Thy Holy Face.

Error after error,
Mistake and mistake,
The sins that I crave
Cause Your heart to break.

My envy and lust, 
My pride and my greed,
My hatred and sloth
All come from the seed

The seed that was planted
By Satan back when 
The world was still new,
Back in the gar-den.

We cannot blame Adam,
We can't blame his bride.
The sins that they acted on
Were always inside.

God gave us flesh bodies,
Not Heavenly stock.
Had our ancestors not sinned,
That would have been the shock.

But we do what we can
With the Spirit inside.
We do what we can
Our sin-nature to hide.

So thank you, dear Lord,
For salvation and love.
We'll keep working to be faithful
To the Trinity Above.
