God of my heart

Thank you dear Lord for your direction 

For closed doors and loving protection

For healing my heart and making me new

And giving me purpose in all that I do 

Thank you Lord for your love and care

For promising You will always be there

For giving me strength when I am weak

And giving your peace that I fervently seek

I thank you for paying the ultimate price

For saving me from an eternal demise

For hearing my prayers and knowing my heart

You formed me and knew me right from the start

Thank you that I don’t need to know all the things

That I can rest in you and hide under your wings

That I don’t need to fret or worry or fear

That you are with me and are always so near

I thank you that nothing is wasted with you

My wrong turns and mistakes have not been few

But you will use all for good and for your glory

All threads woven into a beautiful story

I thank you, dear God for the great God you are

The One who made the sun, moon, and stars

Yet the One who sees me, knows the hairs on my head

Who watches over me as I sleep in my bed

I thank you, Lord, for your many gifts

That without you, in this life I would be adrift

Thank you for being my anchor and north star

I thank you and love you, oh God of my heart.
