All I Can Say Is "Thank You"

Father in heaven,
You never cease to amaze me.
Waking up I see the beautiful sunrise that You have created;
the orange and red colors gracing the eastern sky
with its presence.

Sometimes there are cloudy days
making everything look gray and dreary.
Even in those cloudy days, the sun is still there;
it's just hidden from man's eye.

It reminds me of the path of life and the cloudy days of life
when everything seems to go wrong and everyone seems against me
but You're still there Lord, right by my side.
I just don't see You, because I'm not focusing on You.
You never walk away from me;
it's me that walks away from You.

Then there's the sunsets that grace the western sky
with purples, pinks, oranges, and reds.
It makes me just want to stop and think a while of how awesome You are.
Then at night, there's the moon and the stars,
reminding me that You, the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are still in control.

I don't know what to do but give myself to You;
and all I can say is "thank You."
