Thanksgiving

The rain won't stop, and the bills pile high Every turn I take, it's another try The weight of the world sits heavy on my chest I'm doing my worst while I'm giving my best In pain with sarcasm I cried Oh, thank you for this road I'm on For the trials that just go on and on Oh, thank you for the ups and downs For life's bumps and all the frowns She stood in the cold with a look in her eye A humble plea for help, just passing by I gave her my coat, and she held it tight Her whispered words cut through the night Her gracious tone pierced my hard heart Oh, thank you for kindness unknown For the seeds of love you've sown Oh, thank you for the blessing I see For giving so much to someone like me Her words lingered, like a gentle call A nudge to a place for saints, sinners, and all Through doubts and shadows, I followed the sound To seek what was lost, to find solid ground The pews were worn, and the music played A quiet moment as I knelt and prayed I felt His love, like a warming flame And I knew I'd never leave the same My focus changed from me to Him Oh, thank you for the stripes you've taken How with drops of blood you've shaken Oh, thank you for your mercy and grace Taking my bruises, ensuring my place I lift my hands, my heart takes flight In the darkest of days, You've been my light For the love, the grace, the skies so blue Hallelujah, Lord, for all I owe to You With open arms I praise His name, Oh, thank you for the trials and pain For the storms and for the rain Oh, thank you for giving me a taste That your sacrifice might not be erased I now desire to take His yoke To call His name and not be broke Grateful for the life I'm living More praise be given this Thanksgiving Oh! Hallelujah Oh! Hallelujah Oh! Hallelujah Oh! Hallelujah
