    Thankful Heart

    Ephesians 5:20
    Words by Bob Hartman and Dino Elefante
    Music by John Elefante
    I have a thankful heart that you have given me
    And it can only come from you
    There is no way to begin to tell you how I feel
    There are no words to express how you've become so real
    Jesus, you've given me so much I can't repay
    I have no offering
    There is no way to begin to tell you how I feel
    There's nothing more I can say and no way to repay
    Your warming touch that melts my heart of stone
    Your steadfast love - I'll never be alone
    I have a thankful heart that you have given me
    And it can only come from you
    I have a thankful heart; words don't come easily
    But I am sure you can see my thankful heart
    Help me be a man of God
    A man who's after Your own heart
    Help me show my gratitude
