"Thank You for that last sip of water?" But without these things, we perish So right now, as a group, we just thank God for the things that That we realize are actual blessings But that we still take for granted We humble ourselves before You We ask that You guide our steps, that You have Your will You have Your way in our lives Father, we didn't make us, so we don't know what to do with us We thank You for the power that You give us in the spoken word We-we pray that we're-we-we're reminded of when and how To use the weapons that You gave us to defeat the enemy We pray for everyone in this circle, and everyone that's not in this circle We humble ourselves before You We praise Your name and give You the glory We praise Your name and give You the glory We praise Your name and give You the glory Amen (Amen)
