Late is My Gratefulness
Posted: November 30, 2008
New words to a familiar Thanksgiving hymn tune…
Late is my gratefulness, O God my Father.
I'm tardy thanking You for what You've done.
Daily You've given me countless reminders
of Your great faithfulness, Most Faithful One.
Refrain:
Late is my gratefulness. Late is my gratefulness.
Forgive my tardiness honoring You.
I've been remiss in recalling Your goodness.
Your steadfast mercies, Lord, are ever new.
Late is my gratefulness, O God my Father.
I have been careless extolling Your care.
Daytime or nightime, Your grace like a blanket
covers me gently. Your love's everywhere. (Refrain)
Late is my gratefulness, O God my Father.
I've no excuse for my ingratitude.
I beg forgiveness for failing to praise You.
Great is Your faithfulness in all You do. (Refrain)
* The above lyrics can be sung to the tune for "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."
