Thanksgiving

Let us give thanks unto our God, let us praise His name.

For His provisions are many, His leading we will acclaim.

We live in a land of plenty while others around this world

Are scarred, bereft of home, where mortar shells are hurled.

Are cold and hungry, bereft and wanting basic life needs.

We bow our heads in thankfulness acknowledging our greed's.

Great abundance we have, enough to open our hands and share

With those who live in hunger, Lord, cause us to deeply care.

Food on our plates, clothing on our backs, a land that is free.

We praise Thee Oh God for what Thou has bestowed we see.

We ask You to open our eyes to those around who are in need.

To live our lives with open hearts and minds and to accede

To Thy divine plan, to give of our abundance to those in need.
