Thanksgiving Snow

Falling down like leaves of gold

Nestling on the earth below

Itís peaceful here out in the cold

Silent in thanksgiving snowÖ

And now a covíring for my heart

Settles softly from above

Shalom the silent snow imparts

It flutters gently as a dove.

Peace comes like Thanksgiving snow

To grateful souls it is enough

To humble hearts that truly know

The covering of perfect love.

To settle on the satisfied

It covers them in white

And brings thanksgiving that abides

Like sacred silent light.

Like snowfall gathering in drifts

Like manna as it falls

Iíll make an offíring of the gifts

For hope shall deck my halls.

This path I follow in the snow

Will help me find the way.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

This blessed Thanksgiving DayÖ
