A Thanksgiving Prayer
We’re grateful Lord, we’ve been so blessed,
You comfort us in times of test,
You give us peace when troubles flare,
We know Your love, You’re always there.
We pray for those who’ve suffered loss,
Laid heavy burdens at the cross.
I pray Your love will lift them up,
Refreshing waters fill their cup.
We’re grateful Lord for loved ones near,
Those cherished friends to us so dear.
We pray for them some near, some far,
Lord help them glow, shine like a star.
I pray our gratitude this day
Will linger Lord, not fade away.
