My Heart Is Filled with Thankfulness

Here are the lyrics to my favorite Thanksgiving hymn. It praises God for the most important thing that I am thankful for: my salvation through Jesus Christ.

My Heart Is Filled with Thankfulness

Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To Him who bore my pain;

Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace

And gave me life again;

Who crushed my curse of sinfulness

And clothed me in His light

And wrote His law of righteousness

With pow'r upon my heart.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To Him who walks beside;

Who floods my weaknesses with strength

And causes fears to fly;

Whose ev’ry promise is enough

For ev’ry step I take,

Sustaining me with arms of love

And crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To him who reigns above,

Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,

Whose ev’ry thought is love.

For ev’ry day I have on earth

Is given by the King;

So I will give my life, my all

To love and follow Him.
