Poetry
Thank-you, Father GOD, that You spread Your protection over me and surround me with Your favour as with a shield. Thank-you that whatever trial I might face today, I will not face it alone, for Your presence is always with me.
You are my ever present help in times of trouble.
You walk with me on the mountain heights and also in the darkest valleys.
You never leave me, nor forsake me.
You know my going out and my coming in.
There is nothing hidden from Your sight.
I love You, Father.
All glory, honour and praise Belongs to You alone. Amen
All thanks belong to You oh Lord
Creator of both Heaven and Earth
God of the seen and unseen realms
Creator of the universe
Yours is the greatness and the power
The glory, majesty and splendour
For everything in Heaven and Earth
Is Yours, oh Lord, forever and ever
Yours, oh Lord, is the Kingdom
You’re in control, oh King of Kings
Wealth and honour come from You
You are the Ruler of all things
In Your hand are power and might
By Your discretion You make great
And give strength to Your chosen ones
Your glorious Name we celebrate
Lord of time and Lord of space
Lord God of the human race
Lord of the Sabbath, Lord of life
Lord who became our Sacrifice
Lord of the earth and skies and sea
Lord of all eternity
Lord of spirits, Lord of light
Lord in whom we take delight
Lord of mercy, Lord of grace
Lord of Love whom we embrace
Lord of compassion, Lord of truth
Lord of the aged, Lord of the youth
Lord of the evening and the dawn
Lord of the babies yet unborn
Lord of infants, children, teens
Lord of every living thing
Lord who conquered every curse
Lord of the entire universe
Lord of power, Lord of might
Lord of hearing and of sight
Lord of glory whom we praise
Lord, the Ancient One of Days
Lord who sets Your children free
Lord in whom there’s victory
Humbly, Lord, we bow before
Our Lord and God whom we adore
Lord of lords and Kings of kings
In love we bring thank offerings
How precious Lord, to realize
You think about us constantly
Even when we’re fast asleep
Your thoughts outweigh the galaxy
In number they exceed the sand
In love, immeasurable
Your thoughts for us are thoughts of peace
Our wholeness is Your will
Your plans are plans to teach us how
To rule and to subdue
The darkness roaming on this earth
As we are led of You
Your thoughts are thoughts to prosper us
In every single way
In spirit soul and body
As we walk the narrow way
But more than this, You think about
The day You’ll fetch Your Bride
We’ll rise to meet You in the sky
And stay close by Your side
Give thanks to the only true God among the gods
Give thanks to the Most High, the Lord of all lords
He alone does great wonders in heaven and earth
His love and His grace are unbreakable cords
By His understanding He created the heavens
The earth He created by the Word of His might
He created the bright sun to govern the day
And the moon and the stars to govern the night
The world was covered darkness and chaos
And the Spirit of God hovered over the deep
He separated the Light from the darkness
And water from water beneath His feet
God set up barriers the seas could not break through
And clothed the land in a wondrous display
Of colours and life forms too numerous to number
And fresh springs and rivers sustain life each day
The Lord provides food for all of earth’s creatures
Give thanks to the Lord for He’s worthy of praise
The Lord watches over His children forever
Lift your voice and give praise the Ancient of days
