A grateful heart may I have,
For many are the reasons
To give thanks and praise
Amidst the turning seasons.

A celebration of Thanks
We enjoy each November;
Yet of God’s countless gifts
Let us always remember.



The gifts of birds and flowers,
The gifts of stars and sky,
The gifts of oceans and streams,
The gift of the sun on high.

The gift of life itself
And the many days we live;
The gift of eternal life we know,
His life for us Christ did give.



The gift of communing with God
Through praise and prayer,
The gift of being His children:
All are gifts beyond compare.

The gift of God’s infinite love,
Ever true, wide and deep,
The gift of God’s Word
And Promises He does keep.



So let us give thanks
Today and all our tomorrows;
Let us rejoice always in God,
Releasing to Him our sorrows.

Let us join together joyfully
With friends and family dear;
Thankful to God and each other
For blessings year to year.



Yea, grateful hearts may we have,
For many are the reasons
To give thanks and praise
Amidst the turning seasons.
