We are Thankful for Your Bounty

We stand in awe and wonder
we fall to our knees
we are thankful for creation
for wonders to perceive

We are thankful to the Creator
for all that ever was
for the present beauty of the garden
for a future home with God

We are thankful for creation
we are thankful for the garden
for this good earth
we are thankful for your bounty

We are blessed as a nation
a people around each table
gathered to praise you
to thank you for the gifts

We are thankful for creation
we are thankful for the garden
for the bounty of the harvest
and the joy of your provision

We are thankful for the harvest
for the bounty of the earth
for the seasons, for the changing
for our walk here with You

We are thankful for the harvest
for the gathering of these gifts
for stopping to praise you
the Creator of all of this
