Let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare.
Give thanks for waking up every morning
For seeing another sunrise
For birds chirping and children laughing
Give thanks for the blessing of yet another day
Let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare
Give thanks for having a family here to love
For people to argue with who will still be there anyway
For good times and bad times
Give thanks that you are not alone
Let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare
Give thanks for friends that are closer than family
For people to laugh with and learn with
For day trips and night drives
Give thanks for the precious gift of fun
Let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare
Give thanks for knowing who you are
For a loving God who knows you better than you do
For your trials because they confirm that you live
Give thanks for second chances and repentance.
Let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare
Give thanks for your problems, they are yours alone
For mistakes and missteps
For your tears and your tribulations
Give thanks for the opportunity to grow
There are many things to be thankful for
The wind against your skin, the warmth of the sun
The rain that cleanses and flowers that bloom
So, let us give thanks for gifts beyond compare
Let us give thanks that we are here.
Let us give thanks for where we are going.
