Giving Thanks
DID YOU GIVE LIFE
ALL YOU COULD GIVE?
DO YOU REGRET
THE LIFE YOU LIVE?
DID YOU TAKE TIME
TO SAY HELLO
FROM ATOP A MOUNTAIN
LOOKING DOWN BELOW?
HAVE YOU STOOD
ON THE OCEANS SHORE
EMBRACE AND LISTEN
TO THE OCEANS ROAR?
GAZE THE SKIES
AND STARS ABOVE
RESEARCH THE MEANING
OF TRUE LOVE?
DID YOU RELINQUISH TIME
TO SMELL THE FLOWERS
UNDERSTAND
THEIR HEALING POWERS?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
A REDWOOD TREE?
CAN 400 YEARS
BE HARD TO BELIEVE?
ARE YOU WILLING TO WALK
ACROSS THIS LAND
TO COMPREHEND
JUST WHERE YOU STAND?
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED
WITH THUNDERSTORMS
WHERE LIGHTNING AND THUNDER
ARE JUST THE NORM?
CAN YOU SURVIVE
A WINTER FREEZE
AND STILL ENJOY
A SUMMER BREEZE?
GIVE THANKS, GIVE THANKS
TO THE LORD ABOVE
HE GIVES YOU LIFE
TO SHARE THE LOVE.
