Whatever Our Lot In Life...

 

CeCe Winans - What A Friend We Have In Jesus (Official Lyric Video)

Whatever our lot in life today

Thank God if we have eyes to look and see

The beauty of earth and sky's grand buffet

Of evidence-proclaiming Majesty/scenery

Whatever our lot in life bestows

Thank God, if we have ears able to hear

Oft overlooked and underrated prose

From voices of nature and loved ones dear

Whatever our lot in life imbues

Thank God if we have clarity of thought

And the ability to speak and to tie shoes

And pray and praise His Name the way we ought

Whatever our lot in life appoints

Thank God for the kind counsel of His Word

Unfailing and unchanging, He anoints

All who seek Him, with guidance undeterred 

Whatever our lot in life may be

In sickness or in health, in toil or rest

Thank God, for food, clothes, home and family

For earthly hopes and struggles, heaven-blessed 

 

Whatever our lot in life, thank God

Lest we forget from whence all mercies brim

Each granted breath is grace and goodness-shod 

Each lot of life a path that leads to Him 

Then, as we thank God for all He provides

Whatever our lot in life imparts 

Darkest despair and crippling fear subsides

In the light of His gladness in our hearts

Janet Martin

The beautiful, timeless Psalm below

 was the benediction to our 

 Thanksgiving Sunday morning service...

Ps.100 NIV

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his[a];

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Ps.100 NKJV

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, [a]all you lands!

2 Serve the Lord with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

3 Know that the Lord, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and [b]not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.
