By Request, ‘Thanksgiving Prayer’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Requested by Elder Mike–Thanksgiving Prayer, by Johnny Cash. It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving for us to give thanksgiving, Mike points out. It’d be good for us all to keep that in mind.

  1. I’m sure, when Johnny Cash sang this song, the “you” he was thanking God for, was June, his wife of many years. And whenever I hear this song, I weep, for I can’t help but think of my wife, for which I am so grateful to have known and have for 17 short years.

  2. We’ve come to the time in the season
    When family and friends gather near
    To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
    For blessings we’ve known through the year
    To join hands and thank the creator
    And now when Thanksgiving is due
    This year when I count my blessings
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you
    This year when I count my blessings
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you

    I’m grateful for the laughter of children
    The sun and the wind and the rain
    The color of blue in your sweet eyes
    The sight of a high “ballin” train
    The moon rise over a prairie
    Old love that you’ve made new
    This year when I count my blessings
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you
    This year when I count my blessings
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you

    And when the time comes to be going
    It won’t be in sorrow and tear
    I’ll kiss you goodbye and I’ll go on my way
    Grateful for all of the years
    I thank for all that you gave me
    For teaching me what love can do
    Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you
    Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
    I’m thanking the Lord He made you
