Thanksgiving Trilogy

Mike Powers
Song of Thanksgiving

Into your presence
I will come with thanksgiving,
O God my savior.
I will bow down and worship;
For you, O Lord, are my God.

Based on Psalm 95, The Holy Bible, Revised Standard Version

Gratitude

With grateful hearts
We remember
The blessings in our lives,
And we
Give thanks
On Thanksgiving.

Spare a thought, friend,
For those in need,
And remember
The poor...
The suffering...
The cold and lonely...

Show your gratitude
Through your actions
By doing good for them.
Feed and clothe them;
Comfort them;
Warm them by the fire.

Bless them with your lives.
God will be grateful.

On Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Day,
Time now to pause and reflect,
Each in our own way,
On life's manifold blessings
With thankfulness in our hearts.
