Let nothing your spirit alarm
Let’s be grateful - gratitude costs you nothing
Yet such a difference it makes on the way,
There’s really so much to be thankful for
Before we reach the end of the day.
Health and strength, a good night’s sleep
The gift of life each given day,
Consider the joy of family and friends
And more words of encouragement say.
Let’s draw the best from each given hour
Our steps we can never retrieve
Go through the day extending a little cheer
And more you will receive.
Each phase of life brings something different
But let nothing your spirit alarm,
Press on, though winds of adversity blow
God is bigger than the storm.
