Father, at this Thanksgiving season
   We come in praise to you,
To thank you for earth's bounty,
   For love and friendship, too.

We're grateful for the freedom
   To come and go at will,
To worship you each Lord's Day
   Our hungry souls to fill.

We're thankful for the Bible
   Which shows us right from wrong
And for your holy presence
   Which fills our lives with song.

We're grateful for so much, Lord,
   Yet, grant us one request:
To live each day with thankful hearts,
   That others might be blest.

       -  Chris Ahlemann
