I Thank You, Lord, for "little" things
   The things of ev'ry day 
A bird's song clear, a blossom sweet 
   The green grass growing at my feet 
A little child at play.

I thank You, Lord, for "little" things
   The sunset's red-gold hue 
The star-lit skiy, the buzz of bee 
   The spreading branches of a tree 
These gifts have come from You!

I thank You, Lord, for "little" things
   The handclasp of a friend 
The happy smile, a cheering word 
   I bit of song or verse I've heard 
All these and more You send!

These gifts You give are precious gifts 
   I thank You for each one;
But far above all else You gave
   Stands Calvary's Cross, an empty grave 
The gift of Christ, Your Son!
