Thanksgiving - To God be the glory

What a beautiful Sunday, the last day of a most amazing 2022. I had a wonderful week this week, and it was a beautiful Christmas last Sunday, and a most amazing time in Japan of rest and reflection. 

Service reminded me of the importance of knowing who I am in Christ, to be diligent in all that I purpose to do, and to walk with Him daily. 

There is so much thanksgiving packed into this cold and cloudy Sunday afternoon. I wrote, journalled and reflected, of course, with a cup of coffee. 

And at the end of the service, this beautiful song touched my heart. I have not heard it before; it is one of the older hymns (before I gave my heart to the Lord). The lyrics and tune just kept ringing in my heart and head. 

To God be the Glory; His blood has saved me; His power has raised me. 
This is my thanksgiving for 2022 - gratitude for His goodness, for all the things He has done in my life.

My Tribute - To God be the Glory (Andrae Crouch)

How can I say thanks

For all the things you've done for me?

Things so undeserved

Yet You gave to prove Your love to me

The voices of a million angels

Could not express my gratitude

All that I am and ever hope to be

I owe it all to Thee

To God be the glory

To God be the glory

To God be the glory

For the things He has done

With his Blood, He has saved me

With his power, He has raised me

To God be the glory

For the things He has done

Just let me live my life

And let it be pleasing, Lord to Thee

And should I gain any praise

Let it go to Calvary

With his Blood, He has saved me

With his power, He has raised me

To God be the glory

For the things He has done
