Gratitude must be shared

Thanksgiving, our thankfulness
gratitude must be shared
our blessings, our faith
we are to give, to share
to open our hearts
the bounty, the harvest
the gifts of God’s love

Thanksgiving, our gratitude
all that we have
our bounty, the harvest
the gifts of the lands
we are to give, to share
to open our hearts
the blessings to be poured
the gifts of God’s love
