Christian Poems/Hymns/Songs

Thank you, Lord

This is perhaps the first hymn set to music I've written. The intended music has a relatively slow, consistent tempo.

Thank you, Lord, for your promises

Thank you, Christ, for your sufferings

Thank you, Spirit, for your Life within:

For it's you who Lives in me,

A new creature I will be,

And it's you, it is you, who sustains my faith.

Thank you, Christ, you were crucified

Thank you, Lord, that with you I've died

Thank you, Jesus, you were raised in life

And it's you who Lives in me,

So I'm crucified with thee,

It is you, it is you who sustains my faith.

Thank you, Lord, in my wanderings

Thank you, Lord, even when I sin:

That you love me still and will renew

For it's you who Lives in me,

Even when I cannot see

That it's you, it is you, who sustains my faith.

~~(Bridge?)~~

For you have given all that I need,

For life and godliness to honor thee,

And all your promises are "Yes! Amen."

In Christ, my Lord.

~~~~

Thank you, Lord, when I walk in power

Thank you, Lord, when I feel your joy

Thank you, Spirit, when I bear your fruits

That it's you who Lives in me,

When it's Jesus others see

Even then, it is you, who sustains my faith.
