Thankfulness comes at a cost
It is a decision to give up our wants and
desires
To quench the jealousies in our hearts that are
like raging fires
And to be thankful for what God gave
Who lost everything, only to defeat death from
inside a cave
Thankfulness comes at a cost
Even if we have little to give others
We still consider them our fellow brothers
And to choose to give from ourselves
To fill the food on a strangers shelves
Thankfulness comes at a cost
It is to know that we were born with nothing
And we will return to the earth with nothing
And we are alive to worship God, even if only
with a single breath
Knowing we will spend our eternity with Him,
having escaped the curse of death
