A Thanksgiving Song...

I love these lyrics:

Thankful Boys And Girls

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For eyes and ears and toes,

And puppies with wet noses.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For lessons we have learned,

And love we have not earned;

Follow the beat of amazing grace;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For kisses on the mouth,

Teenage heartbeats pounding.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For lightning in the sky,

Laughter in the eye;

Follow the beat of amazing grace;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls.

For all that brought us here,

And all that will bring us through.

The passages of life that lead to You,

Lead us to You.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For a little common sense;

And painted picket fences.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For packing all the plans;

in rented motor vans;

Follow the beat of amazing grace;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For Mendelssohn and Brahms

Shadows growing longer.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

For grandkids we can hold;

Years that slowly go;

Memories to keep; sorrow running deep.

Follow the beat of amazing grace;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls.

For all that brought us here,

And all that will bring us through.

The passages of life that lead to You,

Lead us to You.

Let us be thankful boys and girls;

When hope is not enough;

That death won’t bury love.

For wine and bread and hymns;

Remembering again;

We follow the beat of amazing grace;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls;

I want to be a thankful boy;

Oh let us be thankful boys and girls.
