Thanksgiving Song

Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered 'round this table
From far and near, we travel home
Blessed that we are able
Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window
Saying: Welcome, welcome
Share this feast
Come in away from sorrow
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend and friendless
All together, everyone
In the gift of loving kindness
Grateful for what's understood
And all that is forgiven
We try so hard to be good
To lead a life worth living
Father, mother, daughter, son
Neighbor, friend, and friendless
All together, everyone
Let grateful days be endless
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered 'round this table
