Thankful and Hopeful

How can I ponder my life without feeling a deep sense of gratitude. God has given so much to me, of which I don't deserve. "There's so much to be grateful for."

Christ, the author and finisher of faith, offers Joy at no cost. He gave his life. I don't know exactly what the lyricist had in mind when he wrote the words "And on this day we hope for what we still can't see." Although, we cannot see Christ, or feel the prints in his hands, we can have a hope of Him--a hope that becomes faith, and a faith which allows the acceptance of Christ. Stop a moment and think of Christ. "There's so much to be thankful for."




Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for
