A Thanksgiving Table Grace

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: November 18, 2012

New lyrics to America the Beautiful…

Before we eat, we sing this prayer
with gratitude that we
can share this meal with those we love,
our friends and family.
Most awesome God, we sing Your praise
for blessings undeserved.
They call to mind why we are fed...
to reach out and to serve.

Remind us, Lord, of little things
that make our lives so blest,
like lids that blink and buds that taste
and sleep when we are stressed.
Most awesome God, receive our thanks
on this Thanksgiving Day
and fill this home with joy and peace
in Jesus' name we pray!

(tune: America the Beautiful)
