Lord, give me a thankful heart,
one that is appreciative . . .
one that to all Your blessings
is attuned and sensitive.

Let it be a heart,
that sings its daily praise
let it be my heartfelt gratitude
that to You I earnestly raise.

Let me have a heart,
truly thankful for all things
no matter what in my life
You may choose to bring.

Let my heart flow with,
the rivers of Your peace
so my appreciation to You
I may continually release.

Lord, give me a thankful heart,
one that is steadily hopeful
let it be the heart of one . . .
who is to You truly grateful!

The path of praise is paved,
with songs of joyousness
glorious hallelujahs
sung with thankfulness.

Praise fills the hearts,
of those who seek the Lord
they sing salvation’s song
with gratitude in each chord.

Trusting voices raise offerings,
of praise and adoration
to their almighty God
they sing their admiration.

Faithful lips sing the words,
of devotion to their Savior
praising and thanking Him
for His grace and favor.

The path of praise is paved,
with hallelujahs galore
filled with joyous thankfulness
to the One who they adore!

Psalm 135:1

“Praise ye the Lord.
Praise ye the name
of the Lord;
praise him,
O ye servants of the Lord.”

Walk in wisdom,
with the understanding
the image of Christ
you're always reflecting.

Be Holy Spirit filled,
by His power controlled
to the righteous way
keep, obey and uphold.

Walk in knowledge,
and never once doubt
so you may help others
who with faith are without.

For now is the time,
that we must redeem
so more soul's for Jesus
we can harvest and glean.

Walk in wisdom,
time nearer is drawing
when Jesus on clouds
for us will be coming!

~~~~~~~~

Colossians 4:5

Walk in wisdom toward
them that are without,
redeeming the time

Lord, help me to make,
You my top priority . . .
let me in everything
seek Your authority.

Help me to put You,
first and foremost
let Your Word be to me
my earthly guidepost.

Lord, help me to give You,
my full consideration
over the issues of life
without hesitation.

Help me to place You,
in the center of my thought
so that I may follow
everything You have taught.

Lord, help me to make You,
in my life supreme . . .
so my time on this earth
I may faithfully redeem!

Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
