Thanksgiving – HOPE Refined

My soul, rejoice in God
Who bought you for His own,
Who gives you life and light
And guides you from His throne.

My heart, be glad in God
For all He’s done for You,
For all the love and care
You see each day anew.

My mind, give thanks to God
For all that He has done,
His mighty works of old
And giving you His Son.

My strength, sing praise to God
Who reigns in glorious light
With grace and righteousness,
With goodness, care, and might.

My tongue, proclaim of God
That He is good and true,
Your Savior, Lord, and King
Who loves and blesses You.

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37

Thanksgiving Day is set aside
For bringing thanks to God
For all His gifts sent from above
In mercy spread abroad.

With joyful hearts we choose to spend
A day to recollect
The many blessings we receive
And Him whom they reflect.

A day to fellowship and sing,
A day to celebrate
A day to tell what God has done –
His triumphs to relate.

We think of all God’s gifts of grace
To count them one by one,
Amazed at all He’s given us,
And all His hand has done.
