So Many Reasons to Love the Lord
Helen Steiner Rice

Thank you, God, for little things
that come unexpectedly
To brighten up a dreary day
that dawned so dismally---

Thank you, God, for sending
a happy thought my way
To blot out my depression
on a disappointing day---

Thank you, God, for brushing
the dark clouds from my mind
And leaving only sunshine
and joy of heart behind.

Oh, God, the list is endless
of things to thank You for
But I take them all for granted
and unconsciously ignore

That everything I think or do,
each movement that I make,
Each measured rhythmic heartbeat,
each breath of life I take

Is something You have given me
for which there is no way
For me in all my smallness
to in any way repay.
