A Thanksgiving Prayer
Dear God we thank thee for this good day
For every blessing that has come our way
For the rising sun, for the heavens above
For the precious gift of a Saviour’s love.
We thank thee Lord for the apostle Paul,
For Jesus the Christ who died for all.
For the life he lived, for the lessons he taught,
For the blood he shed upon Calvary’s cross.
Lord we thank thee for the food we eat,
For the clothes we wear, for peaceful sleep.
For skies of blue, for oceans deep,
For lush green meadows, for mountain peaks.
We thank the Lord for this good land,
For friends and neighbors, for helping hands.
For flowers that bloom, for birds that sing,
For babbling brooks, for everything!
We thank thee Lord every day
That we were born in the U.S.A.
Remind us Lord and help us to see
That all good things come from Thee.
Father we thank thee for thy matchless grace
Bestowed so freely upon the race
That all might know thine only Son
Who died on the cross for everyone.
We thank thee Lord that we can stand
And hold to thy unchanging hand.
May we always keep thy holy commands
So that we may enter the promised land.
Lord we thank thee for that wonderful friend
Who purchased for us the pardon of sins.
In his holy name we humbly pray
That every day will be Thanksgiving Day.
