O God of Heaven,
Creator of every thing,
For Thy mercy and grace,
I offer my thanksgiving.
O God of Heaven,
Redeemer of my soul,
Remembering my low estate,
Thou hast made my life whole.
O God of Heaven,
Thy arm is strong for me.
Thy hand is stretched out;
Thy wonderful works I see.
O God of Heaven,
Through a Red Sea I've gone;
Thy hand has led me through.
All praise be to Thee alone!

"O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever." - Psalm 136:26
Reading the chapter of Psalm 136 is therapeutic to my soul. As a human being born in sin, I cannot obtain pardon or obtain righteousness except for the love of God. I deserve no mercy, but I have received it fully, freely, and forever!
My soul has been redeemed from a life of destruction.
I have found Him Whom my soul loves because He first loved me.
Any good seen in my life or any good I experience in life is from the strong hand of my good and loving Father, God.
He has stretched out His arm over my life. I am nothing without Him. With Christ, I have everything! All glory be to Him forever!
I give thanks to The God of Heaven!
