May I Have
A Thankful Heart
It’s so
easy to be thankful
When our barns
are brimming o’er,
When earth’s
harvest fills our table,
Doting friends
knock at our door.
It’s so
easy to be thankful
When our way
is bright and fair,
When we walk
in perfect wholeness,
And we have
enough to spare.
But what about
the barren times
When thick darkness
clouds our day;
Do we offer
God thanksgiving
For the trials
that come our way?
For our earthly
tribulations
Are a blessing
from God’s hand,
For there are
lessons to be learned
That adversities
demand.
So may I have
a thankful heart,
One that’s
full of grateful praise.
May I recognize
God’s blessings
Come disguised
in diff’rent ways.
