Today I am truly thankful Lord, for all, to me, that you afford, <br />For all the peace along the way, that you grant me every day, <br />On mountain high or valley low, you are there to let me know, <br />Upon a path, both me and you, on my journey, you foreknew. <br /> <br />On my journey, there's even more, in Jesus Christ, I'm secure, <br />When things about me tend to fail, in Christ alone I will prevail, <br />As you send much needed grace, while I'm in this earthly race, <br />While on my way to the finish line, on a course of your design. <br /> <br />On this journey, that I speak of, you lead me daily from above, <br />Guiding me in love all my days, as you teach to me your ways, <br />Ways, I don't always understand, as you hold me in your hand, <br />On the path planned out for me, while you guide me to eternity. <br /> <br />In you, my Lord, I always find rest, through any trial or any test, <br />Rest, in the most troubled of days, when only you, I can praise, <br />As you give me an assuring calm, while I'm safely in your palm, <br />In your hand to stay through all, the earthly trials, big and small. <br /> <br />You afford me, on this journey, so much on my way to eternity, <br />With so much more ahead for us, who abide in The Lord Jesus, <br />And till we see our eternal place, we're sustained by your grace, <br />Filling us with peace and love, while we long to be home above. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©02/2012)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truly-thankful/
