Still Thankful
Only God and prayer can heal it:
The dreadful wound your loss has made.
Find thankfulness and never quit;
Remember to give thanks today.
When melancholy cords arise
Cast dissonance far, far away
Let gratefulness revive your eyes;
Remember to give thanks today.
If you still have someone to love
And a place where a bed is made
You have more than enough thereof;
Remember to give thanks today.
If you have friends that never left
Someone to help you on your way
Thank God of these you’re not bereft
Remember to give thanks today.
If pain can cease for a moment
Use the time to earnestly pray
Too many tears spent in lament
Remember to give thanks today.
