Thanksgiving is drawing nigh
our hearts begin to soar . . .
just thinking of our blessings
sweet Lord, AND SO MUCH MORE ~

SO MUCH MORE of what YOU do
that shows how much you care . . .
delivering us from bondage, Lord,
answering our every prayer ~

Drawing back the curtain
behind which sometimes we hide . . .
to reveal those little foxes
of rebelliousness and pride ~

That spoil the vines so tender
corrupting from within . . .
displeasing thoughts & actions
that lead to secret sin ~

Thank you for your blood, Lord,
that washes white as snow . . .
for seeds of sweet forgiveness
YOU provide that we may sow ~

For precious gifts unnumbered
can't be bought at any store . . .
our hearts are filled with thankfulness
SWEET LORD, AND SO MUCH MORE !
