Heavenly father, I come to you on the blessed Thanksgiving Day
Thanking you for bringing all my family together once again in this very special way
For keep them safe from all harm as they travel day to day
Just seeing them all, puts a smile upon my grateful face.
Lord, please keep in mind the less fortunate on a day like today
Those who are down on their luck, no food, or a decent place to stay
Let them know that everything is going to be okay
That things will prevail and that they are blessed just to see another day.
Lord, deliver those who don't know the true meaning of today
Who are stuck up in greed and afraid to pray
Running away from the truth, hiding with no means of coming forward
Pray that they spread the love and the wealth to those who need it the most.
Lord, I just thank you for being who you are
For caring so much and so effortlessly
For treating all your children the same
Even when we don't do it ourselves, which is such a shame.
Thank you for first loving me, during those times I didn't love myself
Those times that I looked to you and no one else
You assured me and confirmed my confidence
And me living for you, is no coincidence.
