A Thanksgiving Prayer

Dear Father in Heaven
Please lend me Your ear,
'Cause I've got a prayer
You'll be happy to hear.

Lord, there's no request list
This time when I pray,
I just want to give thanks
This Thanksgiving Day.

First, I want to thank You
For gifts from above:
Your unending mercy,
Your undeserved love.

And thank You for sending
Your Son down to earth,
For now those in Jesus
Can have second birth.

Lord, thank You for saving
Your children from Hell,
And giving Your Spirit
Who comes to indwell.

And thank You for choosing me
To be Your own,
For now that You're in me
I'm never alone.

Lord, thanks for forgiving me
When I'm untrue,
And last, but not least, Father,
Thank You for You!

--Connie

"Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ
who according to His great mercy
has caused us to be born again
to a living hope
through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead."
(I Peter 1:4 NASB)
