GRATEFUL HEART · 8.8.8.8
Scripture
Colossians 3:15-17
Verse 1
A diligent and grateful heart
Prompts me to sing Thy praise.
Thy love and mercies from the start
Have blessed me all my days.
Verse 2
I thank Thee for the means to serve
With talents and with tithes,
For sharing brings the utmost joy
When lifting other lives.
Verse 3
My thanks I give you for stewardship
To minister through deeds,
To serve and share with patient care
Thy people in their needs.
Verse 4
O Lord, I dedicate my all
In this response to Thee.
Help me to magnify this call
In deep humility.

A hymn emphasizing diligence and gratitude as Christian virtues and spiritual disciplines.
