A Psalm of Gratitude from a dear friend and ministry partner ....
I thought it worthy to share as it blessed me and hopefully will bless you as you think on the many ways you are thankful during this season of Thanksgiving!
A PSALM OF GRATITUDE
AND CHANGE OF ATTITUDE
by Elaine Tietz
Christ Jesus my Lord
Center of all the universe
totally God, eternal
became one of the created
bound by a human body
living the life of a servant.
My heart is full of gratitude
Jesus change my attitude
to be the same as Yours.
Christ Jesus my Savior
Redeemer of all that is dead
Redeemer of all that is lost
Redeemer of all that is forgotten
by humbling Yourself in obedience
that led to Your death on a cross.
My heart is full of gratitude
Jesus change my attitude
to be the same as Yours.
Christ Jesus my Shepherd
giving Your life for the sheep
for the joy set before You—
to sit at the right hand of Your Father
to see multitudes receive salvation
to have Your blood be the cleansing flood.
My heart is full of gratitude
Jesus change my attitude
to be the same as Yours.
Christ Jesus, Faithful Son of God
suffering as an example to us
having grace toward Your tormentors
entrusting Yourself to Your Father
healing us with Your wounds
the Overseer of our souls.
My heart is full of gratitude
Jesus change my attitude
to be the same as Yours.
Christ Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Son of God, holy and true
the Amen, ruler of all creation
sitting on Your throne in splendor
all of heaven singing Your praises
the Lamb of God reigning in glory.
Overflowing gratitude
open to Your magnitude
take me, I am Yours.

177. He is my refuge
178. He is my comforter
179. He is my grief bearer
180. He is my rest
