I have been
truly blest of you
Lord, in
so many wonderful ways;
I'm here on my
knees before you
to offer my love and my
praise!
I thank you
for giving me my health
and my wonderful loving family;
Friends with
whom I can share your
love and
most important of all, you've
given me
thee!
You were with
me when I needed
comforting and my tears would
not
stop
flowing;
You held me
close in the palm of your
hand when
from me my loved one was
going!
You've been
with me when life took it's
toll on me when in helplessness, to you
I
cried;
You were there
when I strayed from
your path of righteousness
because
of my foolish self
pride!
You've been
with me through many a
trial and sheltered me from a world
grown cold;
You
will be here with me when I walk
that last mile, when this body grows
feeble and old!
You'll go with
me through the valley
of the shadow of
death,
When I close
my eyes and draw my
last breath;
When this body
of clay has been laid
to rest,
I
will be at home in heaven with You
provided with all that is
best!
