For sunshine, for quenching rain,
For relief of our pain.
For green leaves on trees so tall,
For Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
For midnight, for afternoon,
For starlight and for the moon.
For laughter,
For children's smiles,
For walking with us across the miles.
For tears of joy, for hearts that care,
For the ability to love,
For the ability to share.
For gentle guidance,
For constant love,
We owe our thanks to God above.
