As the parched earth is moistened by rain

I thank and praise you Lord

As the cold air is warmed by the sun

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the dark gives way to morning

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the good soil nurtures the seed

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the south wind clears the sky

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the deep sea feeds its fish

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As my pain gives way to calm

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As my deepest fears give way to hope

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As loneliness gives way to friendship

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the arid desert yields to the rain

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As bitter cold yields to warming sun

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As the changing leaves yield to fall color

I thank and praiseYou Lord

As our hunger yields to the feast of Your grace

I thank and praise you Lord

As my sadness yields to Your eternal joy

I thank and praise You Lord.

As my frown yields to Your loving smile

I thank and praise You Lord

As I pray and yield to Your will

I thank You for Your presence

As I think of all that is good and right

I thank You for Your presence

And I thank and praise You Lord

For I am at peace knowing

You are here, now and always

You are the good in all things, for all times
