Thankful for Each

For each blade of grass,

For each leaf on each tree in each forest,

For each chirp in each melody of each bird in each chorus,

For each breeze from the beautiful sky.

 

For each breath in each lung in each day,

For each syllable of each word in each thought,

For each shade of each color in each scene through each eye,

For each smile on each face.

 

Lord, most of all,

Thank you for each particle of each splinter of each piece of wood,

For each step You took up that long road,

For each crack of each whip You took,

For each tear in each eye that rand down each cheek.

 

For each nail in each hand and each foot,

Which caused each drop of blood,

That covers each sin in each day,

For each child at each age.

 

For each day Your body laid in that tomb,

For each fight with the enemy,

For each promise You kept as You took back the keys to Death,

For each step you took as You arose from the grave.

 

I’m thankful for each.

About Steve Austin

I am a recipient of radical grace. I believe in second chances. I am in love with a woman who's so much better than I could ever hope to be. I am Daddy to the coolest little boy on the planet. I love Dreamers. I am addicted to black coffee.
