This is a song from 2000 by Kevin Bates that I haven’t come across before. It is a simple song of thanks to God for life and family.
The sheet music to buy and a snippet to hear are at Willow.
1 For the faces I know and the family who hold me,
For the safety of home, for the joy that they bring.
Refrain
I thank my God. I thank you each day.
Your loving surrounds me each step on my way.
2 Every day that I learn how to love with a big heart
Is a chance to taste more of the joy that you bring.
3 There are times I forget how to love you and thank you.
Let me open my heart once again as I sing.
4 In my fam’ly I learn about giving and taking,
About love and forgiving and about being true.
