Thank You For Jesus

Thank You for Jesus

As we approach this day of thanks,

I bless my Savior dear.

And thank Him that above all else,

He is a God who’s near.

He died upon the shameful cross

And suffered agony.

He bore my awful weight of sin;

My Redeemer now is He.

He bears my every care; I know

My pain’s not lost to Him.

I know He is the Light I need,

Whene’er the path grows dim.

He is the Bread that gives me strength

When life’s too much to bear.

And at the Father’s own right hand,

He calls my name in prayer.

He is the Life that gives me hope,

When loved ones step away.

I know He’s coming soon, and I

Will dwell with Him some day.

He is the Truth - yea God, Himself,

With hope He lights my way

For when life overwhelms my soul,

His Word is all my stay.

I thank the Father up above,

For Christ my Savior-King.

He’s all these things to me and more.

Today His praise I’ll sing.
