You know my soul

you know everything about me there's to know

you know my heart

how to make me stop & how to make me go

you should know i love everything

for the blessing

and the lessons that i've learned w/you

by my side

that i'm thankful so thankful for the love

that you keep bringing in my life

in my life

Thankful so thankful

You know my thoughts

before i open up my mouth & try to speak

Don't you know that i'm thankful for the moment

thankful for the joy that your bringing in my life

for the lessons that i've learned

when i didn't think i could go on

but you made me feel strong

when i'm down you always know how to make me smile

thankful for the joy that your bringing in my life

Sentence Prayer

Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ,

For all the benefits and blessings

Which you have given me,

Fall all the pains and insults

Which you have borne for me.

Merciful Friend, Brother and Redeemer,

May I know you more clearly,

Love you more dearly,

And follow you more nearly,

Day by day.  Amen

(St Richard of Chichester ca 1197-1253)
