Grateful Hearts

Grateful hearts, we gather here,
To give thanks for another year.
For blessings great and small,
We thank the Lord who provides them all.

The warmth of family and friendship true,
The rain and sunshine that renew,
Our health, our homes, our daily bread,
All are gifts for which we're truly led.

So let us pause and humbly pray,
That God will guide us every day.
That we may live with thankful hearts,
And do our part to spread love and light.

A Call to Gratitude

Oh, let us give thanks with all our might,
For the precious gift of life and light.
For the earth and sea, the sky and sun,
For the beauty of nature that's never done.

For family, friends, and community,
For all who've helped us come to be.
For the blessings that surround our days,
For the many ways God shows his grace.

Let us praise his name and lift him high,
In all we do, till the day we die.
For gratitude is the key to joy,
And hope that nothing can destroy.

In Times of Trial

When trials come and shadows fall,
And darkness seems to cover all,
May we remember God is good,
And he will guide us as he should.

For even in our darkest hour,
He has the grace and strength to empower.
And though we weep and mourn and grieve,
He offers peace and hope and relief.

So let us trust him through the storm,
And know that in his loving arms,
We'll find the rest and healing balm,
To carry on and stay the course.

For thanksgiving is not just for days of cheer,
But for our deepest pains and greatest fears.
For in each trial, we see his hand,
And learn to trust and understand.

A Grateful Heart

Oh Lord, my God, how grateful I am
For all the blessings that you have planned
From the sun that rises each morning anew
To the stars that shine in the vast sky of blue

For the air that I breathe and the land beneath
For the water that sustains all life, no brief
For the food on my table and clothes on my back
For the friends and family that keep me on track

For the health of my body and the wisdom of my mind
For the love that I feel and the joys that I find
For the challenges that make me grow and learn
For the faith that I hold and the hope I discern

For the forgiveness that heals and the grace that saves
For the mercy that redeems and the truth that braves
For the peace that surpasses all understanding
For the joy that comes in the morning, commanding

For the sacrifice of your son, our Lord and Savior
For the cross that bore all our sin and behavior
For the resurrection that conquered death and grave
For the promise of eternal life, free to have

Oh Lord, my God, how grateful I am
For your enduring love, your steadfast plan
May I always remember your goodness and grace
And live a life that brings honor to your name and face.
