Be My Thou Thanksgiving Vision: A Prayer for All

BE THOU MY THANKSGIVING VISION

The Bible says, “In everything give thanks,”

but this seems difficult if we are frank.

In our lives, there is so much tension,

for it to happen, “Lord, Be Thou My Vision.”

Luther cried “this world with devils filled,”

a truth that seems to take away our will

of accepting this “giving thanks” mission.

So we ask, “Lord, Be Thou My Vision.”

When darkness hides Your smiling face.

Pressing on requires "Amazing Grace."

We cannot see good with any precision,

So we pray, “Lord, Be Thou My Vision.”

Your power and love to us please show,

and grant that we'll be able to know,

if we make this “giving thanks” decision

we'll experience “Lord, Be Thou My Vision.”

So we choose to give You thanks today,

and join with family and friends to say,

“We all trust Your grace and provision.

You, O LORD, are our Thanksgiving vision.”
