Thankful
This song is one of my favorites. I wrote it because I wanted a Thanksgiving-time song that focuses on counting our many blessings instead of singing about turkey and pumpkin pie. After all, the bounty we enjoy at Thanksgiving time, and all year long, would not be possible without a loving Father in Heaven. This song helps us remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Lyrics
One for each blessed day.
Two, every breath I take.
Three for my family.
Four, all they mean to me.
Five, just to be alive.
Six for the earth and sky.
And seven for heaven,
For every good thing that I have
Comes from God
Every day
Every hour.
There are blessings
He sends without number or end.
If I counted a hundred
Or a thousand
I’m sure there would still be more to be thankful for.
Eight for the chance to grow,
Nine, heart and hands and soul,
Ten for the eyes to see,
All God has given me.
I could go on and on,
Counting the whole day long.
I know He is with me
For every good thing that I have
Comes from God
Every day, every hour.
There are blessings
He sends without number or end.
If I counted a hundred
Or a thousand
I’m sure there would still be more and more to be thankful for.
