As I thought about the loss
of my loved ones who had died,
I was overwhelmed with grief
and at once I sobbed and cried;
How could I give thanks to God
who had taken them from me,
I could only question why
God’s great will I could not see.
But the Word of God came clear
and it called on me to voice
My thanksgiving in all things
and in sorrow to rejoice.
For to them that love the Lord
all things work together good;
If I’d only learn this truth,
I would praise Him as I should.
Giving thanks always for all things unto our Father God,
Giving thanks always for all
in the name of Christ our Lord.
For in trial as well as blessing we need to sing our song
of thanksgiving to our Savior, to whom all praises belong.
Oh dear Lord, forgive me now
for my thankless heart I pray,
Let me see thy perfect will,
help me trust in Thee today.
For I sorrow not as those
who are hopeless, in despair,
I have Christ who gives me strength
when I go to Him in prayer.
When the burden of my heart
is so heavy due to grief,
I can turn to Jesus Christ
who is there to give relief.
Is this not enough to cause
me to praise His holy name;
For He doeth all things well,
and for you He’ll do the same.
Giving thanks always for all things unto our Father God,
Giving thanks always for all
in the name of Christ our Lord.
For in trial as well as blessing we need to sing our song
of thanksgiving to our Savior, to whom all praises belong.
