A Thanksgiving Prayer

As we sit around the table
This Thanksgiving Day
I want to thank the Lord Jesus
The feast given to us
The family seated at the table
We have so much love to share
We say a Thanksgiving Prayer

Thank you for the turkey
The potatoes and the corn
Thank you for the stuffing
Vegetables and pumpkin pie
The table is set so beautifully
It takes your breath away
Thank you for the one's I love
We say a Thanksgiving Prayer today

We pray for the homeless
That they are given food
We pray for those who are shut-in's
We hope someone will call
Give these people what they need
Dear Jesus, do not let them fall

Thank you for the sky, so blue
The birds singing in the trees
Thank you for the flowers
The park that we can be

Most of all, thank you
For the gift of life
You have given us
We are forever grateful
For this Holiday
We thank you Jesus
For giving us this Thanksgiving Day.
