We Give Thanks

These are the lyrics I wrote to a song some time ago.  Today I wanted to share the music with you, but must confess that I don’t know how to share music on a blog… not yet.  Anyway, here are the lyrics: my song of gratitude.  

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

For the needed things we seem to take for granted

The harvest in the fields that someone planted

For the pleasures in our lives that made us glad

The friends along the way that we have had

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

For the simple things we often overlook

A sunset or a gentle flowing brook

For the meals prepared that someone had to cook

The time for us our families often took

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

For the Bread of Life God gave that we might live

And the Word of Truth He gave for us to give

For the Living Water sent to quench our thirst

For the Son of man who gives to us new birth

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

From the dawn until the setting of the sun

When the stars appear and night has just begun

Til we drift away on clouds of peaceful sleep

And commit our souls into His hands to keep

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

Every good and perfect gift

Comes from the Father above

Some things change and fade away

But what remains is love

We give thanks; we give thanks to our Father up in heaven 

We give thanks; we give thanks for the blessings He has given

We give thanks
