Thanksgiving
2017
Lord, I thank you for yourself –
God, eternal King,
Maker of the earth and sky,
Lord of everything.
Thank you for your gift of love –
Leaving heaven’s throne,
Living, dying, rising up,
Making me your own.
Thank you for the way you hear
Every time I pray,
Being near to guide, protect,
Showing love each day.
Thank you for forgiving me
For my Savior’s sake
Though you never sin or make
Even one mistake.
Thank you for receiving me
As your very own,
Making me a place above –
My eternal home.
Thank you for the earthly joys
Freely given here –
Family, friends, and so much more,
Showing me you care.
Thank you, God, for everything
You have given me,
Point me to your perfect love
In these gifts I see.
