A Thanksgiving Prayer 

Dear Father in Heaven
Please lend me Your ear,
'Cause I've got a Prayer
You'll be happy to hear.

LORD, there's no request list
This time when I Pray,
I just want to give thanks
This Thanksgiving Day.

First, I want to thank You 
For gifts from above:
Your unending mercy,
Your undeserved love.

And thank You for sending
Your Son down to earth,
For now those in Jesus
Can have second birth.

LORD, thank You for saving
Your children from Hell,
And giving Your Spirit
Who comes to indwell.

And thank You for choosing me
To be Your own,
For now that You're in me
I'm never alone.

LORD, thanks for forgiving me
When I'm untrue,
And last, but not least, Father,
Thank You for You!

-- Connie

-- 1 Peter 1:3-4
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ! 
   In His great mercy He has given us New Birth into a Living Hope 
   through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 And into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade -- 
   kept in Heaven for you.

Thanksgiving Day Prayer

However do I thank YOU, LORD
For all You've given me.
Firstly, for this country that I live in
Which allows me to be Free.
And gives me the right to worship YOU,
However, I think best!

And to follow any pathway I may choose 
However, ill conceived, or circuitous!
I may choose it and then forsake it, 
My right to do so, nonetheless.

And if I stumble in my choices,
However many they may be.
I may rise and turn around again, 
Change my mind and my direction then 
And with them my destiny.

Yes, LORD how do I thank You
For all You have given me?
My Hope, my Belief, my Dreams, my Faith 
Which inspires and enables me
To make a difference in this world.

And all because of YOU!

What You have given and have done,
Your Life, Your Crucifixion
And then Your Resurrection too!

Oh! LORD thank YOU, 
Thank You for this life, 
You have granted me
And at its conclusion,
My salvation yet to be. 

My God, my LORD, I thank You for 
Every blessed day,
Even those, which tried my soul
For they brought me closer to YOU,
And they taught me to depend on YOU.

And then to be ever grateful too
For the sunshine that would follow rain,
The light that followed dark and pain
And the rainbow that is called my life.

Yes, My LORD I thank You for 
This blessed gift, my immortal soul, 
And yet, my very mortal life. 

But, most of all and on this day
LORD, I bow my head in Prayer and Pray:

"Oh! My LORD, please accept 
My heartfelt thanks 
For all these many blessings 
And then most especially,
For these beloved friends and family 
Who have gathered here with me."
