Thank you, Jesus, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for your words of gold.
Thank you, Jesus, for skies of clear blue,
Thank you, Lord, for just being you.
Thank you for family and for friends,
Thank you for your Love that never ends.
Thanks for our food given by your hand,
Thanks for your promises on that I stand.
Thanks from the depths of my humble heart.
And from the heart of your Love, all good things impart.
Love you, Lord, cause you Loved me first,
Love you, Lord, for my soul’s rebirth.
Love you, Lord, it’s so easy to do,
Love you, Lord, alone you are true.
Love you for taking my sins away,
Love you each hour of every day.
Love you for peace, and for joy I’ve found,
Love you cause I know I’m heaven bound.
Love from the depths of my humble heart,
And from the heart of your Love, our love does start.
Why, oh Lord, do you Love me so,
Why, oh Lord, only you know.
Why when I ignored you so long,
Why when I have done so much wrong.
Why did you have to suffer such pain?
Why for the world you carried our shame.
Why this for me I can’t understand,
Why would you let them nail down your hands?
Why can my mind only fathom in part,
But from the depth of your Love, you fill my heart.
Tertius
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 118:1
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
A note about “Thanks, Love and Wonder”: I posed a question to the kids in Sunday School: “If Jesus came in here in the flesh today, what three things would you ask/tell Him?” I also made the point that He doesn’t have to be there in person to state our case. The poem is what I tell Him every day.
