We Thank You, O Lord

To the tune “We Gather Together”

We thank You, O Lord, for Your mercy and blessings,

Your love that we never can merit or earn.

And so this Thanksgiving on bended knee we’re coming

To worship You, O Lord, our hearts for You yearn.

We need You, O Lord, in our lives, in our nation.

Forgive us for failing to follow Your way.

Give us wisdom and courage to never deny You

To hold fast to our faith in these difficult days.

We cling to Your promise, we know You are faithful.

Our land You will heal if Your people will pray.

If humbly we’ll seek You and turn away from evil,

We’ll again be the home of the free and the brave.

And so, Lord, we give You our praise and thanksgiving,

Our worries and fears we surrender to You.

We choose to rejoice in Your faithful provision.

We will trust You, O Lord, for Your Word is true.
