Lord, I give thanks for Your mercy and grace,
Strength to encounter each trial that I face,
Pow'r over temptation's searing hot rays,
Christ to walk with me through all of my days.
Lord, I give thanks for salvation that's free,
Offered and paid for by Christ's death for me,
Your rain of forgiveness cleansing from sin,
Joy overflowing my heart deep within.
Lord, I give thanks for each answer to prayer,
For peace in the storm that always is there,
Promise of blessings to yet be fulfilled,
Your love o'erflowing and power instilled.
Lord, I give thanks for all these and much more;
Accept my thanksgiving, Lord, I implore.
Receive these, my gifts, though humble they be,
As my praise off'ring uplifted to Thee.

About Me
- LINDA
- I was born in the naval port of Norfolk, Virginia, the daughter of a US Navy Master Chief. With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
