The Reason To be Thankful
~ If It Weren't For Calvary ~

I'll never be discouraged
I refuse to live with doubt
My Jesus came to save me for
That's what He's all about

He stepped down from the Heavens
And gave up His Heavenly home
Then walked up that 'ole Calvary road
For My sins to atone.

He never questioned His own fate
The suffering He would face
He willingly hung on that cross
And died to take my place


And I'll remember His great love
He died there for my sin
And this Thanksgiving day won't pass
Without remembering Him.

The turkey that is baked that day
Won't even catch my eye
My eyes will be on Jesus Christ
My heart will wonder why

A Saviour with such wonderous love
Would give His life for me
I'm so unworthy of His love
He sealed my destiny.

My eternal home is Heaven now
And that could never be
If Jesus had not loved me so
And died to set me free.

Thanksgiving day, I'll praise His name
And know that He is Near
And I'll give "THANKS" for His great love
Like each day of the year

It's o.k. to bake turkeys
And to celebrate with glee
But we'd have "Nothing to be thankfful for"
If it weren't for CALVARY!
"Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.) 2Co 9:15 ( "
