There
are no words to thank you
For all that you have done
Despite my many tryings
I still can not find one
There
are no words to give you
The worship you deserve
Yet in your heart of beauty
You come to me -- to serve
To
serve me with your kindness
Your love, your promises
All this you give me freely
Your gifts are so endless
So
on this day a tribute
I write from in my heart
To try and start this "Thank You"
For all that you impart
I
thank you for salvation
A plan made dear to me,
I thank you for your spirit
That gently does guide me
No
matter how I thank you
No words can yet express
My gratitude for Calvary
My life that you have blessed
So
on this day I offer
All that I have to give
A vessel made of ashes
That you may come to live
To
live inside this vessel
Of dust and humbleness
To occupy my stable
Of dirt and brokenness
For
only in your presence
Can life be born anew
A gift no words can capture
This love I feel for you.
