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

Now when Thanksgiving is due

And 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 colour of blue in your sweet eyes

The sight of a high ball and train

The moon rise over the prairie

And 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 or tears

I'll kiss you goodbye, and I'll go on my way

Grateful for all of the years

I'll 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
