Small Is My Thankfulness

This one is still in progress.  I’m not too happy about one or two of the lines, but I thought I would post it anyhow!

Small is my thankfulness, O God my Father,
When I consider all You have done -
Imagining, creating, loving, redeeming,
Making things right through the blood of Your Son.

To always be thankful, I need eyes to see You
Working for good all of the time,
Forming the mysterious into the beautiful,
Transforming this feeble faith of mine.

Morning by morning, show me the kindness
Of seeing Your hand at work for the good,
Even in sorrow, in pain, and in suff’ring,
And when Your plan is misunderstood.

Help me make thankfulness the theme of my story.
Let “Father, thank you.” be the theme of my song.
When small is my thankfulness, O God my Father,
Help me be grateful all the day long.
