Seculare
Thank you for the sun
Thank you for the full moon
Thank you for my true love's face
And our lives in love consumed

Thank you for the stars
A home along the river
Thank you for the ancient groves
And the fishes brown and silver

All things running wild
Grass enough for grazing
Water flowing clean and pure
All the beauty that saves me

Thank you for the dawn
Ocean's rise and falling
Children born to carry on
And the end that's always calling

Thank you for the songs
Thanks for all my good luck
All the things that don't go wrong
And the hopes that won't give up

Thank you for my tears
Loved ones who forgave me
Thank you for my darkest years
All the sorrows that made me
And the beauty that saved me
