Thanksgiving is a special day
When we show our appreciation;
For all the gifts bestowed on us,
And the beauty of His creation.
We thank our Lord for food and home,
We thank Him for family and friends;
We want Him to always know,
Our love will never end..
On this Thanksgiving Day
Smiles will surround the table;
As love and joy fill up our hearts,
We're warm as though wrapped in sable.
I pray that all will have plenty to eat,
And love and hope will fill all hearts;
I pray that those who are suffering,
Will find a brand new start.
I pray that peace fills the air,
In homes all over earth;
I pray that laughter will be heard
From children filled with mirth.
Thank you, Lord, for Thanksgiving Day,
When we remember blessings bestowed;
Thank You for being here at this time,
So Your love we can always know.
