How Can I Say Thanks
for The Things You Have Done For Me?
things So Undeserved,
yet You Gave To Prove Your Love For Me;
the Voices Of A Million Angels
could Not Express My Gratitude.
all That I Am And Ever Hope To Be,
I Owe It All To Thee.
To God Be The Glory,
to God Be The Glory,
to God Be The Glory
for The Things He Has Done.
With His Blood He Has Saved Me,
with His Power He Has Raised Me;
to God Be The Glory
for The Things He Has Done.
Just Let Me Live My Life,
let It be Pleasing, Lord To Thee,
and If I Gain Any Praise,
let It Go To Calvary.
It's simple, yet profound. It's short, yet says what it needs to. Many times I know I need to give thanks to God but I just can't express words. And many times, I know I need to give Him thanks, but I just don't feel like it. This hymn helps with both. I only wish I had this mind set in my everyday life. To God be the Glory. I especially love the last part. "Just let me live my life--let it be pleasing, Lord to Thee, and if I gain any Praise, let it go to Calvary." I hope you think about these things this week....

Sometimes we just get caught up in theology and what we are doing right and wrong, when we just need to remember to give glory to God in everything we do. Leave a Reply. | 
Every month, I will be posting the lyrics of a hymn as the new Hymn of the Month. I hope you will read it and try to apply it...hymns are such a blessing, let's not let them go to waste. My dad suggested something to me. He said whenever you're down or are facing a temptation, start to sing...so I sing hymns. There are different types of hymns. Some for praising God, some about the nature of God, and some about how God relates to His people. I bet you there is a good hymn for any sort of situation you are in, so I hope the ones I put up here every month will be helpful. Feel free to comment on any of these hymns and share any insight that you might have. ArchivesFebruary 2010 |
