Thankful Always

It is wonderful that this great nation, still rejoices in thanksgiving,

A time we can reflect on things, that make it beautiful to be living,

And having the freedom to do this, makes it a glorious thing,

So I will stand and honor our flag, when the Star Spangled Banner we sing,

May we never forget those who have given all, the ultimate sacrifice,

To preserve what we take for granted, they paid so dear a price,

Oh Lord of our salvation, on whom our forefathers founded this land,

I will remember my mind's picture, of Your nail scarred feet and hands,

Forgive us for falling short, of all You want us to be,

For in my heart I believe, it is You that keeps us free,

And it doesn't take a designated time, for me to bow and gratefully pray,

For Lord You have made my life such, that I am thankful every day.
