My Psalm 136

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.

To him who breathed life into me 30 years ago;
His love endures forever.

And then healed me from Strep when I was 6 weeks old;
His love endures forever.

To him who gave me to two amazing and godly parents;
His love endures forever.

Parents whose most important mission in life was to teach me about Jesus;
His love endures forever.

To him who provided for us when there was so little;
His love endures forever.

And gave us a tightly-knit loving family;
His love endures forever.

To him who saw all the hurts and struggles as a teenager;
His love endures forever.

Who brought me to Dordt College;
His love endures forever.

And who brought me to Brian;
His love endures forever.

To him who listened to every prayer begging for a child;
His love endures forever.

And who cradled our first baby in heaven;
His love endures forever.

And who formed a new life when my heart was still aching;
His love endures forever.

To him who gave me a daughter, my Reagan;
His love endures forever.

And quieted my spirit through the months of colic;
His love endures forever.

To him who taught me to love praising His name in song;
His love endures forever.

And who gives me words to tell of the glory of God;
His love endures forever.

To him who formed another life without the years of struggle;
His love endures forever.

And brought her safely into my arms, my Madison;
His love endures forever.

To him who has blessed me far beyond my deserving;
His love endures forever.

To him who gave me 30 years when illness as an infant could have easily given me only days,
His love endures forever.

To him who is the source of every song I sing, every word I write;
His love endures forever.

To him who has heard every word, every song, every cry and every praise that has ever echoed inside my heart;
His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.
