What I'm Thankful For (The Thanksgiving Song)

What I'm thankful for ain't on no list
For it only in my heart exists
For time has helped me understand
The things I can't hold in my hand

For those that came before my turn
Oh, from whom I've gathered lessons learned
That light the path that lies ahead
I see them as I bow my head

Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for

For our children hear this prayer
Let love surround them everywhere
And may their children's children know
The one from whom all blessings flow

Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for

And amidst these gifts and presents
We receive this holiday
May we take a thoughtful second
Just to fold our hands and pray

Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is so much more
These are the things I'm thankful for
