Thanksgiving Song - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Grateful for each hand we hold

Gathered round this table

From far and near we travel home

Blessed that we are able

Grateful for this sheltered place

With light in every window

Saying welcome welcome share this feast

Come in away from sorrow

Father mother daughter son

Neighbor friend and friendless;

All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness

Grateful for what's understood

And all that is forgiven

We try so hard to be good

To lead a life worth living

Father mother daughter son

Neighbor friend and friendless

All together everyone let grateful days be endless

Grateful for each hand we hold

Gathered round this table
