The aroma of apple pie
Wafts in the air,
Sounds of stories
Around the table to share,

Praise and prayer,
Laughter and song:
Here with my family,
Here I belong.



Thanks be to our God
For all He does give,
Thanks be to our God
For this life we live.

How blessed we are
To gather here each year,
To create memories
With those we hold dear.



How precious it is
To be with one another:
Mother and father,
Sister and brother.

Throughout the festivity,
The turkey and pie,
Our hearts are raised
To God, the Most High.



Thankful for Jesus Christ
Above all let us be:
His death on the Cross
Gave us life eternally.

So Thanksgiving Day
And indeed forevermore
Let us sing praises
To the One we adore.



With praise and prayer,
Laughter and song,
We rejoice in Jesus,
For with Him we belong.

And as aroma of apple pie
Wafts in the air,
We praise God's love,
Sweet beyond compare.
