My Heart’s Thanksgiving

Refrain:

        F                          Bb
   As I sing my heart’s thanksgiving,

           C                 Bb
   And my eyes look heavenward.

             F                       Bb
   How the stars you flung like jewels,

      Gm7                    C – C7
   Bid you welcome shine your light.

     F                 Bb             C           Am
   As I marvel at your moonrise, I’m in awe, yet I ask.

          Dm        Dm             F   Bb
   “What am I that you should love me,

     F                   Gm7       C7        F
   And hold me as your dearest love of all?”


        Bb6         C              F
1. You crown with honor and glory,

    Gm7              C7          F
   And you set all things under my feet.

             Cm7           F                   Bb
   You have made me a little less than angels,

         Gm        Gm7       C – C7
   Even if I fly often away.


2. In my anxious and brow-beaten moments.
   You comfort me, fill me with your peace.
   When my goes threaten, dare, and surround me.
   You’re my strength, you’re my light and my shield.

3. How exalted your name is, O Yahweh,
   And how lofty the works of your hands!
   Yet how closely, how dearly, you draw me,
   To your love, Divine Majesty.
