Thankful for You Lord – v2

We are thankful this afternoon
sitting in worship, joining
thankful for the peace
that lets us sit here undisturbed

We are thankful in this season
that we are not persecuted
for our ability as Americans
coming together in worship

We are thankful to You Lord
for all of our blessings
for our country, our faith,
for our lives in Jesus

We are thankful to You Lord
for Your forgiveness
for the grace of the cross
and the joy of the Resurrection

We stop in prayer
for these moments
able to come to You
joyfully, in worship
