Heart of Thanksgiving
by Kevin Stokes

Album: Grateful Hearts

It's waking up that cold November morning
To the smell of turkey nearly done
It's a list of last-minute preparations
As the kids yell "parades are coming on"

It's a table set with autumn decorations
And a call that "everybody's on their way"
Then it's hugs and hellos
For the people we love so
And smiles as we prepare to fill our plate

But the heart of Thanksgiving
Is, Lord, when we look to You
To recognize Your blessings
And give You our gratitude
You search us, Lord
You know our deepest part
Please find in us a heart
Of Thanksgiving

It's heading to the backyard for the big game
And sneaking back for one more slice of pie
It's listening to the kids tell Christmas wishes
And the joy that shines from grandparents' eyes

It's laughing 'bout the leftovers tomorrow
And joking 'bout the crowds down at the mall
But of all the things this holiday brings
Oh, God, You are the center of it all

The heart of Thanksgiving
Is, Lord, when we look to You
To recognize Your blessings
And give You our gratitude
You search us, Lord
You know our deepest part
Please find in us a heart

Oh, the heart of Thanksgiving
Is, Lord, when we look to You
To recognize Your blessings
And give You our gratitude
You search us, Lord
You know our deepest part
Please find in us a heart
Of Thanksgiving
A heart of Thanksgiving

Father God, You've been so faithful
So good and we're so grateful
Find in us a heart so thankful

Father God, You've been so faithful
So good and we're so grateful
(I wanna thank You, Lord)
Find in us a heart so thankful
Find in us a heart, a heart...

Father God, You've been so faithful
So good and we're so grateful
(Heart of Thanksgiving)
Find in us a heart so thankful
Father God, yeah
You know You're so good to me

Father God, You've been so faithful
So good and we're so grateful
Find in us a heart so thankful...
