We ve come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
For blessings we ve known through the year
To join hands and thank the creator
And now when Thanksgiving is due
This year when I count my blessings
I m thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I m thanking the Lord He made you
I m grateful for the laughter of children
The sun and the wind and the rain
The color of blue in your sweet eyes
The sight of a high ball and train
The moon rise over a prairie
Old love that you ve made new
This year when I count my blessings
I m thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I m thanking the Lord He made you
And when the time comes to be going
It won t be in sorrow and tear
I ll kiss you goodbye and I ll go on my way
Grateful for all of the years
I thank for all that you gave me
For teaching me what love can do
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I m thanking the Lord He made you
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I m thanking the Lord He made you
