The Bible records times of praise and songs. Today the third graders recorded our own verse of praise for Thanksgiving. We brainstormed, counted syllables, decided what would rhyme, wrote, edited, and finally all got a chance to sing their verse for our song of praise. They did a great job!
Title: With a Glad Heart
Tune: This Old Man, He played One...
1. Dearest Lord, hear our praise,
For the joys that fill our days.
Refrain: With a glad heart, praise the Lord, Alleluia sing!
Thanks unto our God we bring!
2. Thank you for all the games
And for all the driving lanes. (Kal)
3. Thankful for church and schools
I am thankful for my tools. (Skyler)
4. Thank you for fruits and sweets
And for lunch with good treats. (Ayanna)
5. Thank you for my new bike
And I ride it while I hike. (Katie)
6. Thank you for cars and bike
Families that go on a hike. (Cameron)
7. Thank you for schools and rules
And our special swimming pools. (Gina)
8. Thank you for church and school
I can hear a hammer tool. (Olivia)
9. Thank you for Shopkin toy
Thank you for all the joy. (Leemari)
10. Thank you for food I choose
Thank you for my new black shoes. (Alexa)
11. I love church, praise and songs
And heart is where love belongs. (Katie)
May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving, blessed by your kids who know all blessings come from God our Savior.
