The ABC’s of Thanksgiving

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not allow your lips to complain.
Even when times are hard—
Fierce winds are bound to blow—
God is forever able;
Hold on to what you know.
Imagine life without His love.
Joy would cease to be.
Keep thanking Him for the things
Love imparts to thee.
Move out of “Camp Despair.”
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone.
Quit living in the past;
Redeem the time at hand.
Start every day with worship.
Thanksgiving is God’s command!
Until we see him coming
Victorious in the sky,
We’ll run the race with gratitude,
Xalting the Lord most high.
Yes, there will be times good and bad,
    but . . .
Zion awaits where no one is ever sad.
