1 God, your blessings overflow!
What can we begin to say?
How can we begin to show,
All our gratitude this day?
God, we join to worship you,
Giving thanks for all you do.
2 Thank you for the life you give,
For each friend and family,
For the land in which we live,
For your love that sets us free.
Thank you, God, for daily bread,
And for feasts of joy you spread.
3 Yet at tables where we share,
Sometimes there is also pain.
There may be an empty chair:
When will we feel whole again?
When our days of grief are long,
Thank you that your love is strong.
4 So we join in thanks this day,
So your gifts we freely share,
So we follow Christ the Way,
Loving, serving everywhere.
Spirit, may our lives express,
All our daily thankfulness.
