Songs of thanksgiving

I
Give praise to your Creator
Who rules immense heavens above,
Whose eyes roam earth
Seeking for obedient souls
Souls, who in receiving Father’s grace unconditional,
Fill creation with God’s praise
Sharing light of Father’s glory among brethren-

Thou obedient servants of His
Fill earth with your songs of thanksgiving
That those who in confusion shy away from grace may
Be drawn into your praise, that
In entering light of glorious praise may receive life and live
Living fully in grace of precious blood of Salvation’s Lord-

Praise glorious Father in seeking souls you bring to Him
These hungry souls seeking to find life’s source
Nourish ye all in His abundant provisions of grace without limit
Acknowledging that you maker’s grace expresses itself in you and through you-

II
Filled am I with grace of Father’s love incomparable
That glory of Son, who in obedience ushered amidst men
Salvation’s work fulfilled in love unconditional
When Grace took upon his loving shoulder mantle of rulership
Through obedience and taught a lesson of love;
Feeding life’s light of joy-

Love that enabled obedient souls to enter their Father’s presence,
A way enabled only through beloved and loving Son
for, only He is appointed,
Forever set above all creation
Creator’s chosen one, who is the way, the truth and life-

From life He came to overcome death, giving life eternal
Humbling death and stubbing its sting
Death could not keep him, he resurrected by mighty power of God
Leading prisoners in his wake
Then in resurrection glory He ascended beyond stars and galaxies
To be seated at right hand of Father’s throne of glory,
Filling creation with a mighty presence;
Father’s blessings assured for eternity in renewing light
Of life that beloved Son ushered in-

III
What man is there who can comprehend the Lord’s grace?
That understanding of man's plight whereupon no other sacrifice
But sacrosanct blood of God's beloved Son could breach a way for forgiveness
When obedient Son of God descended to pay price of Man's redemption,
A way of relief for redemption fulfilled to set free humanity in bondage is forever enabled
So that Man who in falling, fell between deep cracks of despair
Could be set free in Christ Jesus, the way to life eternal in Himself-

He who sat in supremacy became obedient servant, humble,
To make a way out for Man,
When Man was enabled an insight, a glimpse of understanding
Mighty was grateful praise of eyes opened to revelation’s wonderful appearance
Praise from willing hearts giving glory to their maker
Magnifying their creator for salvation’s work fulfilled-

Eyes lifted to Heaven's light that is life,
For once beholding sight of glorious Son of Man
From eyes before blinded by forlorn darkness’s deception,
Long was man's despair but eternity of God's overwhelming compassion
Re-expressed grace when the bearer of light gave life-
