We Give Thanks
Distressed
by our sorrow we
think
There is not much to give
thanks...
We are in that long, terrible
war,
With so many casualties and
turmoil,
So many lives lost and in
danger,
Why should we give thanks
for?
There is so much destruction
all over,
Tremendous suffering and
grief
In its dept our soul has
bore,
Mother Nature has not spared
us
With wounds that never heal.
Why should we give thanks
for?
Our beloved country
mourns
For the loss of loved ones,
And many families no more,
There are so many broken
hearts,
We all feel like falling
apart,
Why should we give thanks
for?
However, the glimpse of hope
Still abides in our midst,
Where pain and hurt is no
more,
That a peaceful future is
ahead,
That all the sacrifice is not
in vain,
That’s what we give thanks
for!
As we gather around festive
table,
We allow The Lord in our homes
And we remember forevermore
All the ones we owe so much,
That our country is standing
and free,
That is what we give thanks
for!
