A Prayer of Thanksgiving
We gather together to give the Lord blessing
Among preparations of turkey and dressing;
The thing we’re most thankful for on this holiday
Is not the just the blessings you give day to day-
Houses and cars, iPhones and dress;
Abundance, prosperity, financial success;
Holiday bonuses and 401Ks;
Frantically saving for that tropical getaway.
We’ve got so much stuff, too much that’s for sure,
Yet somehow it’s left us a bit insecure.
With all that we have it’s so easy to forget
It’s not about things and getting our needs met.
It’s all about You, and not the things you have done,
But the one thing that matters - Jesus, You’re Son.
We’re thankful and grateful, we’re blessed beyond measure,
But we focus tonight on life’s greatest treasure.
Thank You for loving us and giving Your Son.
By shedding His blood, the victory’s now won.
To show You our thanks, what more could we do,
Than offer our lives as an offering to You.
With a song of thanksgiving we lift up our praise,
To the One who’s been faithful to us day after day.
