GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD!
To the Lord, for He is good!
Thank You, God, for everything
The big things and the small
For every good gift comes from God
The Giver of them all.
And all too often we accept
Without any thanks or praise
The gifts You send as blessings
Each day in many ways.
And so at this Thanksgiving time
We offer up a prayer
To thank You, God, for giving us
A lot more than our share.
First, thank You for the little things
That often come our way
The things we take for granted
And don't mention when we pray.
The unexpected courtesy
The thoughtful, kindly deed
A hand reached out to help us
In the time of sudden need.
Oh, make us more aware, dear God
Of little daily graces
That come to us with sweet surprise
From never-dreamed-of-places.
Then thank You for the miracles
We are much too blind to see
And give us new awareness
Of our many gifts from Thee.
And help us to remember
That the key to life and living
Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks
And every day THANKGIVING.
