Thanksgiving

What does Thanksgiving really mean?
The memories start to flow,
Back to that traditional meal
Served so long ago.

The table that was set in love
With food the Pilgrims raised.
The Indians joined them at the feast,
Their voices filled with praise.

They praised the Lord and thanked Him
For each blessing, one by one,
Then ate the meal provided,
Thankful for what He'd done.

And so, as we remember,
And reflect on memories past,
We need to look again to God, 
With faith and hope that lasts.

For each day's a new beginning
As down the road of life we trod,
And we can go our separate ways,
Or walk the path with God.

Every day should be for us
A new Thanksgiving Day,
And we should praise and thank Him,
As we bow our heads to pray.

For we are really, truly blessed
That God gave His only Son
To be the Way, the Truth, the Light,
So that His will be done.

Therefore, when we celebrate
A traditional Thanksgiving Day,
We're praising God and thanking Him
For showing us the way.
