I'm always urging others, Lord, to
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
which I sometimes abbreviate to
PGFWABF!
and which I've done so often
my phone now auto-suggests the short form
as soon as I type: PG!
I love this prayer, Lord, for the many truths it holds
in one short and simple line:
YOU are God - and I am not.
My life is filled with gifts
I could never give myself.
Every blessing comes from you, Lord
and for all that I've received
I owe you all my thanks and praise...
This prayer puts things in order, Lord,
in just the right perspective,
it humbles me and gives me pause
to ponder your great goodness...
When times are tough, resources low,
stir my heart and mind to prayer
'til I remember all your gifts and
Praise you, Lord,
from whom all blessings flow!
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.

O God beyond all praising,
We worship you today
And sing the love amazing
That songs cannot repay;
For we can only wonder
At every gift you send,
At blessings without number
And mercies without end.
We lift our hearts before you
And wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you,
Our great and mighty Lord.
Then hear, O gracious Savior,
Accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor
May serve you as our king.
And whether our tomorrows
Be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows
And rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty
And glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty
Our sacrifice of praise.
