A TIME TO BE THANKFUL

This is the time to be thankful for the Lord;
A time to count our blessings; That He has bestowed;
A time to be happy and a time to be sad;
For not everyone is safely in his hand.

But how can a man be thankful for the Tree;
Unless he can see God likened it to be;
A symbol of life, rooted in Him;
Having branches that only he can trim.

This is the time to be thankful for the Lord;
A time to claim the promise; That He has bestowed;
A time to be working for the time is at hand;
When there will be no more harvest in the land.

But how can a man be thankful for the Stream;
Unless he can see God likened it to be;
A symbol of his love, refreshing to men;
And having no beginning or end.

Yes, this is the time to be thankful for the Lord;
A time to share the blessings; That He has bestowed;
A time to reach those souls; as only He can;
For their destiny is written in His plan.

But how can a man be thankful for the Breeze;
Unless he can see God likened it to be;
A symbol of His Spirit, sweeping ore the land;
Searching the hearts for a faithful man.
