A Thanksgiving Song

Let us give thanks to the Lord
For He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!
Let us all say:
His steadfast love endures forever!

The Lord is our strength and our song;
He has become our salvation.

We shall not die, but shall live,
and recount the deeds of the Lord.

Open to us the gates of righteousness,
that we may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.

We thank you that you have answered us,
and have become our salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

This is the Lord's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessed are the ones who come in the name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God
and He has made His light to shine upon us.

You are our God, and we will give thanks to you;
You are our God, and we will extol you.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for His steadfast loves endures forever!

from Psalm 118, adapt.

Accept, O Lord, my thanks and praise for all that you have done for me. I thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love. Above all, I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of His Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom. Amen.
