In Thanks For So Much - Advent - Peace


 






We do not thank the Lord for food,
For wealth or our life’s hours.
We thank Him for the loving grace
That makes such blessings ours.
 
The value lies not in the gift,
But such grace from the hand
Of Him who formed the galaxies
With a simple command.
 
His power is vast in array,
While we are of small note.
For Him to see us and bless us
Is not mundane or rote.
 
It is, instead, abundant grace
Poured out on you and me.
Blessings beyond what we deserve
That He gives us freely.
 
It’s not about the food we eat
Or our wealth on display,
It’s about love, joy, righteousness,
The peace He sends our way.
 
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
