Give Thanks by Isaac Kitsteiner

At the end of 2007, John and I had been married nearly a decade and were still childless. That's when one phone call changed our lives forever. Bri asked us to be parents. Isaac made us those parents. Today that little boy is eleven, and like his birth grandparents on both sides, has a propensity for music and especially the piano that can only come from the wonderful way God made him -- perfectly created in his mother's womb and then placed lovingly in my arms. 

Every SINGLE time Isaac plays this song, I tear up. It leaves me completely speechless how thankful I am to be his Mama.

GIVE THANKS

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)

Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)

Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"

Let the poor say, "I am rich (I am rich)

Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks

We give thanks to You
