Gratitude is impalpable
yet wonderous to behold;
in Thanksgiving, the walls break open
to a place where Truth can be sold.

For if the heart doth abide in this treasure,
standing fast against the rain,
the spirit will fight mental tortures.
God's Grace supplying countless gain.

When a child of His abides in gratitude,
his heart is relieved and primed for flight,
as God rewards the thankful,
those who presist is His Delight.

Divinely keeping God's Provisions fresh;
continual gratitude doth set the sou on high,
and the Holy brethren's spirit repeatedly
meeting up with Him in the sky!

Oh the joy of basking
in needs having been met;
God's leading in all transactions
steering one NOT unto regret.

Oh the peace that comes from gazing 
at the roof that keeps our heads,
shelter still standing;
bills paid and family fed.

Oh the gratitudes, it flows,
and even overflows....instead.

Gratitude unbrokened and unfinished
and His Grace sustaining over time;
old things like new
and all things mingling,
a smashing new sort of rhyme.

For when gratitude is leading;
envy and fleshly amibition, not at play,
the heart is kept safe from all that covets
and longing and greed are held at bay.

Upon practice conviction,
gratitude is accessible, like any open door,
oh walk through and sing with praise
His Grace unfettered,
forevermore!

And because satisfaction is beautiful;
God will keep all things like new
and extend the life of one's possessions
concluding in wisdom, all that ensures.

So in reply,
why is gratitude so vital?
The answer is oh so profound;
the more I acknowledge and confess
my heart in thanksgiving;
the more satisfaction
bout' me all around!

So raise a glass to staying thankful,
as we honor Him who rules in such great worth,
let us toast in recant ALL His blessings,
so much greater than ALL 
that graces this earth.

So much to say about gratitude,
only no words can fully display;
the joy over even the smallest thing:
every little blessing He throws my way....

When it comes to gratitude,
I could go on and on all day!
