Deposits in the “Bank of Thanks”
compound more than we think.
The interest paid on gratitude astounds.
So counting blessings is worthwhile
and giving God the praise.
That’s how we prove God’s faithfulness abounds.

Acknowledging how blessed we are
assumes humility.
For we are not deserving of God’s grace.
Our gratitude is based upon
a “wealth” we have not earned
and recognizing what we’re called to face.

Confessing wrongs that mark our past,
we seek to do what’s right
by tearing down old walls that can divide.
We build new bridges that connect our isolated lives
and feast with friends (both old and new)
while swallowing our pride.
