A Joyful Thanksgiving

Time for celebration,
In having salvation;
And not to be ignored,
Giving praise to the Lord.

At that time you will say,
Truly this is the day;
Thank the Lord and be glad,
Not the time to be sad.

Although I strayed of the path,
I was spared from the wrath;
Because mercy and grace,
Has brought me to His place.

He knows I changed my course,
Since He saw my remorse;
And all is forgiven,
For entering Heaven.

For He is my Savior,
Who I love and adore;
Giving me liberty,
From what made me guilty.

So I will sing a song,
As I bid earth so long;
And lifting up my voice,
Extending my rejoice.
