Thanksgiving Day Song

A Thanksgiving Day Song

As I look back over all my years
Amazing Joy or sometimes tears
Each winding road, an Act of Grace
That I might seek Your Glorious Face
And as my life draws nearer to You
I came to know Your words were True
Those Words that drew me near your heart
And bid me stay and ne’er depart

Chorus:

Oh let my joy then ever be
A song of Grace that sets men free
From all the chains that tightly bind
Or foolish pride that makes hearts blind
Thanksgiving would be greater still
Each day conformed unto Your will
A truly thankful heart be mine
When Humbly filled with Joy Divine

II
How foolish I at times have been
My faltering steps and wretched sin
I searched this world in hopes to find
A love so true, so sweet and kind
I did not see the tears You shed
Consider that for me You bled
No greater treasure could  be mine
As Your beloved, our hearts entwined

Chorus:

Oh let my joy then ever be
A song of Grace that sets men free
From all the chains that tightly bind
Or foolish pride that makes hearts blind
Thanksgiving would be greater still
Each day conformed unto Your will
A truly thankful heart be mine
When Humbly filled with Joy Divine

III
Lord, hold me tight within Your arms
Tis there I’m safe from all life’s harms
My head pressed firm upon Your chest
For just a moment let me rest
And let me gaze at Your Sweet smile
As on we walk each winding mile
My dearest love, You are my King
It is for You I must now sing

 

Chorus:

Oh let my joy then ever be
A song of Grace that sets men free
From all the chains that tightly bind
Or foolish pride that makes hearts blind
Thanksgiving would be greater still
Each day conformed unto Your will
A truly thankful heart be mine
When Humbly filled with Joy Divine

DO YOU KNOW CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR?

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Savior: I urge you to go to my page titled How to Be Saved by clicking on this link.  There is nothing more important than this; Because, He is the way, the truth and the life. Therefore, I urge you to seek Him today.
