thank you


God stop me if You’ve heard
these painful desperate words
but this life it seems so rotten
is there something You’ve forgotten?

i lack enough to curse what i keep
but own enough to let me sleep
sometimes when i feel stripped bare
i wonder why You just don’t care

but God thank you for this day
thank you for this season
thank you – even though
I can’t think of a reason

i watch those in Your pleasure
sporting more than i can measure
and while i feel so out of touch
i’ve never needed You so much

there’s a couple at my table
and i don’t think I’m able
to believe there’s one for me
and I won’t always be this lonely

God thank You for this day
Thank You for Your promise
Thank you – You wanna prosper me
it won’t always be like this
