A Family Thanksgiving Psalm

A Thanksgiving Psalm
from Rick & Carol Wallis’ Thanksgiving Table
Written by family members sharing thanksgivings for God’s gifts
To be said or sung antiphonally; loosely based on Psalm 136


Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
            for his steadfast love endures forever

Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
            for his steadfast love endures forever

to him who provided a new rental house
            for his steadfast love endures forever

and a job with friends as team members
            for his steadfast love endures forever

to him who has given us local friends and family
            for his steadfast love endures forever

and a new season for pursuing college plans
            for his steadfast love endures forever

to him who provides important work to do
            for his steadfast love endures forever


and an office that cares and serves us in our need
            for his steadfast love endures forever

to him who has led us into community based relationships
            for his steadfast love endures forever

and has given us students to teach and tutor
            for his steadfast love endures forever

With a strong arm and mighty right hand
            for his steadfast love endures forever

He is the God who rescued us from death
            for his steadfast love endures forever

and is our healer of body and soul
            for his steadfast love endures forever

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

            And his steadfast love endures forever!
