Thanksgiving Prayer

We've come to the time in the season
 When family and friends gather near
 To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
 For blessings we've known through the year
 To join hands and thank the creator
 Now when Thanksgiving is due
 And this year when I count my blessings
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
 This year when I count my blessings
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
 I'm grateful for the laughter of children
 The sun, and the wind, and the rain
 The colour of blue in your sweet eyes
 The sight of a high ball and train
 The moon rise over the prairie
 And old love that you've made new
 This year when I count my blessings
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
 This year when I count my blessings
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
 And when the time comes to be going
 It won't be in sorrow or tears
 I'll kiss you goodbye, and I'll go on my way
 Grateful for all of the years
 I'll thank for all that you gave me
 For teaching me what love can do
 Thanksgiving Day for the rest of my life
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
 Thanksgiving Day for the rest of my life
 I'm thanking the Lord, He made you
