What is the true meaning
of Thanksgiving?
Have you ever asked yourself?
For it is easy to be thankful
when your belly is full,
and you are warm in your home.
But what if you lived in a box
and had no food, no shoes, and no socks?
I suppose then you could give thanks for life.
Well, what if you spent this holiday in the hospital,
barely breathing, for you are terminally ill?
Could you still give thanks?
I tell you, "Yes"
because you still have the gift that is best:
the blood of Christ which washes away all sin.
Thanksgiving means more than this years harvest.
It means thanking God for eternal rest
through faith in His Son.
Yes, Thanksgiving is thanking God
for His grace and mercy...
Or, at least, it should be.

Enshrouded in this world I live,
I walk in a light that creates shade.
I am reminded of the promise You have made:
You will come and take us to a place
Where the light does not fade.
This promise was made at the time of the fall.
This promise You have made to all,
But only those who, by Your strength,
Believe that Your Son all our debt has paid
Will He bring home to Him
Where the light does not fade.
As our mansions You prepare
And the wedding feast is made,
You give us strength to bear
And Your love does not fade.
As the world creeps in around us
Like the shadows on the wall
And the prince of darkness
Instigates our fall,
A lighted path before our feet is made,
And the Word fuels this lamp,
And this fuel cannot fade.
All flesh is as grass
And fades away.
But the Word of God
Stays the same every day.
And while the grass is whithered and frayed
The Christian soul does not fade.
As our mansions You prepare
And the wedding feast is made,
You give us strength to bear
And Your love does not fade.
And Your love does not fade.
And Your love does not fade.
