For it All

Turquoise Heavens, pink and grey,
the perfect end to a long hot day.
Lifting humble hands to pray,
'Thank you, for it all.'

Every moment, good or bad.
Every feeling, happy, sad.
Every set back, every goal.
Every time God touched my soul.
'Thank you for it all.'

I close my eyes to see His Face.
Safe, at peace in His Embrace.
Nothing else has any place.
Jesus pouring Holy Grace.
'Thank you, for it all.'

With me, when my spirit soars.
With me, when she cries no more.
With me, through the thick and thin.
With me, stumbling through my sin.
'Thank you, for it all.'

and,
When I fall upon His Feet.
Home at last, the Race complete.
Dare to lift my face to see,
the One who always carried me.

I will whisper through my tears to Thee.
'Thank you, for it all.'

Beautiful - I too could see this as a wonderful praise song - especially liked: the One who always carried me - He does and I'm so thankful!
