THANKSGIVING

Putting this in writing as I type

What a task to undertake 

But folks---as you read make no mistake

Giving Thanks to the Father above

Spreading  out His Awesome Love

To you in this family and all my friends

Who've  stuck together through thick and thin

 

We praise You Oh Father God

We adore you and You are the Only God

Giving thanks today for You sending Your Son

The thiefs and murderers lost and us down here Won

All living creatures ---- all living things

All the nourishment to the body that these days bring

We've been fed with spiritual, physical, and emotional love

 

Being with ones we love, thinking of ones who've gone on

Knowing they are at peace now, they have a new song

Dreaming we are, and trying out hardest

To reach out and grab your Hands and know

Now is the  time to reap the most awesome harvest

We are clinging to You as would  a leech

Away from the wordly and out of it's reach

 

Ending this little ditty ---- Sending blessings

And praying for showers of more

Rain on us Lord, let us not be of thirst

We love You Lord, We'll be with You at Last

Because You are the One, and You are the First

The Alpha and Omega you are

The Father--the Son---and the Holy Ghost

The Maker and Creator of this great earth.

Let us give All the Praise and Glory to You Lord

You are the Song, and You are the much Spoken-Of Story
