Giving Thanks

This is the day we've set apart

To express the gratefulness in our heart

Of giving thanks for gifts of grace

That the stuff of earth cannot replace.

We thank God for our very life

Lived in peace and not in strife

We thank God for the daily bread

That He provides so we are fed

Chorus

For all that You are we thank you Lord

Let our hearts continually overflow

Over all good gifts, the best you afford

Is the treasure of your presence here below

We thank God for a land that's free

But more so for our destiny

That Heaven's gates are opened wide

That Christ may take us to his side

Bridge 

We take for granted every day

The gift of life God gives to us

So let us gratefully give thanks

And in our faithful God to trust

We marvel with the heavenly hosts

That we can stand and make our boast

Boldly before the throne of Grace

To gaze upon God's very face.

Chorus

For all that You are we thank you Lord

Let our hearts continually overflow

Over all good gifts, the best you afford

Is the treasure of your presence here below!
