Thanksgiving Song

Call the kids in from outside
Tell them that it’s almost time
We’ve all been waiting for tonight
The table’s set for dinner

Can’t believe the year it’s been
Thankful to be here again
Gather ‘round and take a hand
Let’s all say together

We are grateful for these blessings
For good food with the ones we love
Our plates and our hearts overflowing
At this table there’s always enough

Tell us what you’re thankful for
But don’t talk when your mouth is full
Pass the gravy, pass the rolls
Pass the time as we remember

Favorite stories from our history
Of who we are and who we used to be
All different, but we’re family
And family is forever

We are grateful for these blessings
For good food with the ones we love
Our plates and our hearts overflowing
At this table there’s always enough

Bring out the pies and little forks
I hope you saved some room for more
We laugh until our cheeks are sore
‘Cause we just can’t keep from smiling

As we look around in every chair
At the loved ones who have gathered here
Reminding us of what we share
A reason for thanksgiving

We are grateful for these blessings
For good food with the ones we love
Our plates and our hearts overflowing
As we watch our family growing
There’s a sweet kind of comfort in knowing
At this table there’s always enough
