Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.
His love endures forever.
His grace is more than we need.
He has saved us and promises us life eternal.
His love for us is unconditional, undeserving though we are.
He doesn’t ask or expect us to measure up to his standards
but with patience and understanding
he helps us through the struggles on our daily journey.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord
for Jesus, his son;
for the inspiration of John Smith and the ministry of Sean Stillman
through whom the community of Zac’s Place came into being;
for us, the ragamuffins, walking miracles testifying to the goodness of God.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord
for today, for the miracle of each new day,
for sunshine and for rain,
for the food we are going to eat,
for tea and biscuits,
for the wonder of new life,
for the best smile in Swansea,
for this our family and for on-going friendship.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord
who has chosen us and shown us his vision,
whose promises can be trusted,
who gives us our talents and the calling in which to use them,
who has provided us with a courageous spirit
that helps us to be open to new experiences,
who grants us peace during the hard times,
who makes his will known to us,
and who gives us the strength to accept that will.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord, the bringer of peace.
We are new creations, new once and for always.
We are recovering and recovered
and one day our recovery will be complete.
For this we thank you, Lord.
His love endures forever.
We eagerly anticipate the rest of the exciting journey
that will see your promises and plans for us fulfilled.
For freedom of choice, for individuality,
for a reason to go on living, we thank you, Lord,
His love endures forever.
Because you won’t take a day off from caring, we give you thanks.
Because you will blow away the smoke and all that blurs our senses,
we thank you Lord.
His love endures forever.
