On Thanksgiving Day, it's easy to forget -
to be engrossed in food, fun, and let
the greatest of All be completely forgotten
The Father's gift to all the begotten
The Lord came to dwell on the earth He made
for the lives that turned themselves away
from His love, from His joy, from His paradise -
lives that sinned without thinking twice
Until the consequences had settled in
And the people comprehended what was sin
For the tree did teach about evil and good
yet they still tried to claim they misunderstood
"Oh, it's not my fault, for he was here -
and it's not my fault, she didn't care -
It was the snake that did lie and tricked me so
It wasn't us, Lord, keep us white as snow"
But the damage was done and in settled dark
on the souls that continued to remark
they knew now life that the Lord provided
was the better way - all remain divided
Murder, jealousy, sin of all kind
Set upon earth, set into their minds -
Generations continue to pass it on
Failing to also pass on the Son
He is the answer, the way, the light -
He is the truth of all that is right
Jesus came and died for all sins
He fought the serpent and He did win
His redemption passed to one and all-
those who answer the Lord's call
For faith in Christ is all that's required
to submit one's life to He most admired -
Jesus Christ, Our King of kings
The one to whom the angels sing -
He's the Love of the world and He's calling You
Place Your faith in Him, that's all you must do
This Thanksgiving, with family and friends
Shout that the Lord has won the end
Speak of thanks, mercy, humility, love
to be engrossed in food, fun, and let
the greatest of All be completely forgotten
The Father's gift to all the begotten
The Lord came to dwell on the earth He made
for the lives that turned themselves away
from His love, from His joy, from His paradise -
lives that sinned without thinking twice
Until the consequences had settled in
And the people comprehended what was sin
For the tree did teach about evil and good
yet they still tried to claim they misunderstood
"Oh, it's not my fault, for he was here -
and it's not my fault, she didn't care -

So those at your table spend eternity above
