How do you thank the One who made
All that we are, all that we see
How do you thank the One who paid
For all our sins upon that tree.

What do you say to the Creator
Who made and runs the universe
Too often we think He’s our waiter
Waiting with goodies to disperse.

It should be easy to be grateful
When we have everything we need

And yet so often we are fearful
And we forget His words to heed.

“Enter His gates with much thanksgiving
Fill up His courts with daily praise”
Be thankful for He’s most forgiving
A song of joy to Him we raise.

And once again we eat and drink
In celebration so we say
This year I pray we stop and think
How much He loves this lump of clay.

So thank you Lord for all your love
Thank you for every little thing
For all your blessings from above
To you our lives and souls we bring.
