Thanksgiving Prayer - Johnny Cash

This is the most beautiful Thanksgiving song! I remember the first time it was on Dr. Quinn - it made me cry.  Now after all these years it still does.

Johnny Cash was the ultimate country Singer.... When I hear his songs and his voice singing them, I don't have to imagine, I can FEEL and SEE and SMELL the prarie, and the western time... Even though I have never been there...  And Johnny Cash is not old enough to have been either...

Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash..... Good Bless them.... :-)

We've come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
For blessings we've known through the year
To join hands and thank the creator
And now when Thanksgiving is due
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

I'm grateful for the laughter of children
The sun and the wind and the rain
The color of blue in your sweet eyes
The sight of a high ball and train
The moon rise over a prairie
Old love that you've made new
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
This year when I count my blessings
I'm thanking the Lord He made you

And when the time comes to be going
It won't be in sorrow and tear
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll go on my way
Grateful for all of the years
I thank for all that you gave me
For teaching me what love can do
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
Thanksgiving day for the rest of my life
I'm thanking the Lord He made you
