I've added three verses #11, #13 & #14

#1
Thank you for the love,
You've shown in so many ways
For being such a special friend
Bringing cheer to dismal days
I pray our precious Lord
Would bless you even more
As you keep sharing with gladness,
The love of the Lord.

#2
We thank you for
The time you spared
And the helping hand you gave
It meant so much
And we thank the Lord
For the effort that you made.

#3
You reached out to me
When I was in need
You came by my side
And held me as I cried
You held out your hand
Telling me, "I understand"
You gave me new hope
When I felt I couldn't cope
You cheered up my heart
When you made me laugh
You showed me love
When life got really tough
At my point of need,
You became Jesus to me.

#4
Jesus sees your acts of love
In everything you do
And as you carry out your work,
The love of God shines through
No matter if the task is small,
You're there to help us out
We thank you for your willingness
In all the ways you've helped.

#5
I just want to thank you
For the kindness that you've shown,
For being there to support me
In ways that you've not known
And for always being there
When I needed a listening ear,
For praying, and for offering hope
And for showing me you cared.

There are so many things
We can be thankful for,
Just look around and see
All the blessings of the Lord
Everything we have in life
Is given from above
To sustain us and to keep us
And to share God's precious love
Blessings come in different ways
And sometimes can be missed,
So thank the Lord who gave them
And for all that He is.
