We Thank You, Lord by Erwin Cabucos lyrics and chords

It's really newish as I wrote  and home recorded it around same time last year. Since then, it has been played in my church and blogged in Australia. I wonder what you think of it. Enjoy 'We Thank You, Lord' Thanks to Geoff Madden for such a great backing track. Enjoy 'We Thank You, Lord'



We Thank You, Lord
 Erwin Cabucos

1
We have today
To choose to see the bright things
And count the best they can bring
To us from the One who provides
      
2
We have the past
We can leave behind
And move on from what could have been
To learn from those that can remind

Chorus
We thank you Lord for all the blessings
You've given us every single day
The life we lead the moments we live
We take in every happy way
The air we breathe, the home we create
The care we get from friends and family
The love we share with people who are dear
You especially

3
We have tomorrow
To hope, wish and plan for
And never fret nor worry
That with God all will be okay

Instrumental

Chorus
We thank you Lord for all the blessings
You've given us every single day
The life we lead the moments we live
We take in every happy way
The air we breathe, the home we create
The care we get from friends and family
The love we share with people who are dear
You especially

We Thank You, Lord

We Thank You, Lord

Erwin, thank you for sharing this. A nice melody and good words. I see page 1 of your score attached, but not page 2 with the chorus. However, Dr. Geoff Madden notes that the full score can be purchased at sheetmusicplus.

I like how Dr. Geoff calls you "the Henry Mancini of Australian Catholic music." He created a nice instrumental rendition.

Yes, I think this could be used in liturgical services. It is uplifting.

Complete Music Sheet is now attached

Opps, sorry, Richard, that was so rude of me posting only half of the music sheet. Here it is now, attached, in complete form, for your use and your school's or parish's use. Peace in Christ - Erwin.

Complete Music Sheet attached

No problem, Erwin. Not rude at all. It's common to give a one-page preview, just as you have done at sheetmusicplus. It's nice when composers can make a little bit of money for their creative efforts.

Some artists who have posted their music on this site offer it for free. That's what Tony Moran and I decided to do with our Salmos Responsoriales.

Other artists here post links to their songs at Apple Music where it can be listened to with a Apple Music subscription and/or purchased individually. 

In previous years, members posted links to their music at CDBaby.com. But much to everyone's huge dismay, CDBaby retired its retail store in March of 2020, leaving behind millions of dead links to songs. But they are still doing digital distribution to all the music services like Spotify, Apple Music (iTunes), Youtube, Amazon Music, etc. So you can still submit your music to CDBaby.
