How can I give you thanks?
How can I give you thanks?
When my heart is so ungrateful
And although you have given me
More than a plateful
I still desire for more
And what for?
My own selfish heart and soul
It only cares about filling it's hole
With temporary silver and gold
It's all fake anyway
And eventually will decay
So why is it so hard for me
to give it all away?
After all that You have done for me
And all the answered prayers
I still push you aside
Until I'm faced with sudden affairs
I use You when I'm sad
I abuse You when I'm mad
I accuse You when I'm suffering
And I refuse You a simple offering
Lord You have shown me so much grace
After all the times I've spit in Your face
Your faithfulness to me never ends
I feel so blind
From all the times
I've mistreated You with my habitual sins
How can I give you thanks?
My eyes are stabbed with so many planks
Your love is unfailing
My heart is derailing
It's hard to believe
Or even conceive
The thousands of chances You've given us
Your children who rebel
And disobey
Who are so quick to forget
The glorious changes You've made in us
Jesus how can we give you thanks?
When are hearts are so bitter
And cold
When we make you less valuable
Than the finest of gold
Our lives were nothing
Before You made us something
When you gave us life eternally
And you purified us internally
We cannot fathom what you had to go through
Just to make a way for us to come home to You
Forgive us God, when we fail
To give You praise
Let the rest of our days
Be devoted to You.
Jesus, How can I give you thanks?
