Thanksgiving

Taking a little bit of a break from Christmas music:

I meant to post this around Thanksgiving, but haven't gotten around to it 'til now. Enjoy!

The leaves are falling, swirling fast in all-abundant shades

Summer days are now long gone; it’s time for shorter days

And now we gather all our friends and all our loved ones too

To think awhile on this past year and all the gifts from You

We are thankful for the blessings that You give

We are grateful for Your grace that lets us live

We are thankful for our families, and Your church that is in unity

But most of all, God, we are thankful for knowing You

And as we think on this past year and all the gifts You gave

Sometimes it seems to overwhelm for all things do is change

But in Your Word we see that You are ever truly God

You never change—all is for our good—You will not spare the rod

Though at times Your gifts were hard some gave us joy and tears

For in those gifts such love was shown—Your goodness made so clear

A new baby life, the gift of love where there was none before

We are in awe of all Your gifts; Your love is shown still more

Oh God, You are unchanging

Our Lord, ever true

And all the blessings You ever give us

Are just a glimmer of what we have in You

We are thankful for the blessings that You give

We are grateful for Your grace that lets us live

We are thankful for our families, and Your church that is in unity

But most of all, God!

We are thankful that You took away our sins

We are grateful that it's by Your grace we live

And if You should take our families and allow the church disunity

You give, You take; God, we still bless You

It could never be enough to thank You that we can know You
