Thanksgiving
Gracious Father who dwells above
It is at this time we most feel thy love
Nature changes and becomes more cold
Summer loses its comforting hold
As the world starts to die all around
We are grateful for all we have found
We have found family and friends who care
Those we can love and who worry how we fare
In whos company we can talk and laugh long
Who make us want to dance and sing our song
The year grows old and comes to a close
The leaves fall down and the wind blows
As we move inside to try and stay warm
We reflect on our shelter from the storm
The roof over our head keeps us dry
The windows still let us see the night sky
Here we can find thy comfort and peace
Where our struggles with the world will cease
The fields lay fallow and our work subsides
As we prepare for the incoming tides
The break from our labor will be brief
So we have time to thank thee for our grief
The trials we fought so hard to pass
The lives we had that shattered like stain glass
The pains that made us strong and free
So we could be who thou wouldst have us be
At this time we thank thee with Grateful heart
And love thee for giving us a fresh start
There is no sacrifice more divine
Than thy son who drank from the bitter vine
By thy will and in thy tender care
In his name we close this humble prayer
Amen
