Give thanks unto the Lord,
Give thanks for He is good;
To be loved and adored,
As true love always should.
Give thanks to our God,
Love endures forever;
Showing honor and laud,
For love not to sever.
He is the Lord of lords,
And is the God of gods;
Blessings are your rewards,
One who honors and lauds.
He performs amazing deeds,
Through the love that endures;
Using wisdom for your needs,
Comfort that reassures.
He had spread out the earth,
Land over the water;
Let females to give birth,
To a son or daughter.
His love gave us great light,
The sun would rule the day;
While the moon by night,
As His love guides the way.
In Egypt they sojourn,
And were made into slaves;
God struck down the first born,
Sent them to early graves.
He led them out of there,
Water became a wall;
Soldiers came as a dare,
But to drown in the fall.
With a very strong hand,
And with an outstretched arm;
The Lord gave His command,
Keeping them from all harm.
Dividing the Red Sea,
Shows how His love endures;
So, they all could be free,
From the sin and their lures.
