Giving Thanks

The Giver

Audio:


Lyrics:

When I lay down, still and quiet, I haven't quite fallen asleep
There's another soul beside me that I pray for the Lord to keep
At times I forget to be grateful for the marvel and bloom of each day
But somehow this silence reminds me just to say . . .

You are the Giver, and You've given this moment to me
You have parted this lonely dark sea--
I walk in the land of Your living, embracing the gift of The Giver

When I'm stretched thin, to my breaking, I cling to my unconquered pride;

Breathe, Sleep, and Give Thanks

Do you ever get tired of breathing?  Have you ever just had it up to here with sleeping?  We do these things all the time, yet most people don't stop and say “Maybe I'd be better off if I breathed less often.”  If we ever think about it, we cherish each breath.  We might try and go without sleeping at times, in order to get more things done, but when we do get the chance to sleep, we usually see it as a precious commodity, a golden opportunity—something to be cherished.
