Thanksgiving Prayer
Chris Ahlemann

I thank You, Lord for harvest grain,
For plums and apples too,
For sunny days and gentle rain
And skies of deepest blue.

I thank You for a place called home
Where love and laughter live,
A place where all are safe and warm
And ready to forgive.

I thank You for the soothing peace
That comes at close of day
As I my fears and cares release
When I kneel down to pray.

Thankfulness
Kay Hoffman

We're thankful for Thy blessings, Lord,
Thy watchful eye above,
For freedom's bell tolls for all
In this dear land we love.

We're thankful, Lord, for useful work,
For measure of good health,
For family ties and friendship dear,
More precious this than wealth.

For all Thy tender mercies, Lord,
For sunshine and for rain,
For golden harvest richly blessed
In yield of fruit and grain.

On this Thanksgiving Day, dear Lord,
We bow in humble prayer,
We're thankful for Thy blessings, Lord;
Thy gifts are everywhere.
