Thanksgiving Thoughts... We Thank Thee

Good to take time to count His blessings on this Thanksgiving Day... perhaps we have taken too much for granted. Start thanking Him from the simplest to(what according to our calculations is)the biggest!

Jim Reeves'song captures gratitude in all its splendour. Click to listen to this song and words:

We thank Thee each morning for a newborn day where we may work the fields of new mown hay We thank Thee for the sunshine and the air that we breathe Oh Lord we thank Thee

We thank Thee for the rivers that run all day
we thank Thee for the little birds that sing away
we thank Thee for the trees
and the deep blue sea
Oh Lord we thank Thee

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord
for every flower that blooms
birds that sing, fish that swim
and the light of the moon.

We thank Thee every day
as we kneel and pray
that we were born with eyes
to see these things.

We thank Thee for the fields
where the clovers grow
we thank Thee for the pastures
where the cattle may roam
We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and free
Oh Lord we thank Thee.

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord
for every flower that blooms
birds that sing, fish that swim
and the light of the moon.

We thank Thee every day
as we kneel and pray
that we were born with eyes
to see these things.

We thank Thee for the fields
where the clovers grow
we thank Thee for the pastures
where the cattle may roam
We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and so free
Oh Lord we thank Thee.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
MAY THE LORD BLESS THEE... MAY HE LET HIS COUNTENANCE SHINE UPON THEE AND BE GRACIOUS UNTO THEE.
