As I checked off my calendar
I was a little bit surprised
Thanksgiving is on its way
There is no way it can be disguised
That's when I think back
To that first Thanksgiving Day
When young America gave God praise
For this brand new holiday
The men took off to hunt for meat
All those wild turkey and the deer
And women cooked and baked enough
It seemed for a whole festive year
Families came together
All who worked and prayed
made roast turkey and stuffing
Rich gravy with biscuits top grade
Cabbage salad and winter squash
Potatoes, peas, and corn, pumpkin pies
But before the eating began
There were prayers from sunrise
God had to smile that Thanksgiving Day
As His people gave thanks to Him
And He opened wide Heaven's Doors
And invited them all in
Remember to give God thanks
As we celebrate America's first holiday
Not just for Thanksgiving
But for what He does every day
