I'm Thankful

I thank you God, for autumn days,
when chilly winds are high,
and leaves fall to the ground below,
blowing against the cerulean sky.

I thank you God, for friends dear,
that are always in our hearts,
for memories that last a lifetime,
for the ones about to start.

I thank you God, for the family,
that you have given to me,
For all the ways they've cared,
and shaped me to who I'm meant to be.

I thank you God, for today,
and all the years of faith,
help me in the coming days,
to steadfastly run the race.

I thank you God, for your Son,
that came to earth for us,
who died to give forgiveness of sin,
to all who in His name will trust.
