Thankful Boys and Girls

Let us be thankful boys and girls
For eyes and ears and toes
And puppies with wet noses
Let us be thankful boys and girls
For lessons we have learned
And love we have not earned
Follow the beat of amazing grace
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls

And let us be thankful boys and girls
For kisses on the mouth
And teenage heartbeats pounding
Let us be thankful boys and girls
For lightning in the sky
And laughter in the eye
Follow the beat of amazing gracе
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls

For all that brought us herе
And all that will bring us through
The passages of life
That lead to You, lead us to You

And let us be thankful boys and girls
For a little common sense
And painted picket fences
Let us be thankful boys and girls
When packing all the plans
In rented moving vans
Follow the beat of amazing grace
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls

And let us be thankful boys and girls
For Mendelssohn and Brahms
Shadows growing longer
Let us be thankful boys and girls
For years that slowly go
Grandkids we can hold
For memories to keep
Sorrow running deep
Follow the beat of amazing grace
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls

For all that brought us here
And all that will bring us through
The passages of life
That lead to You, lead us to You

And let us be thankful boys and girls
When hope is not enough
That death won't bury love
Let us be thankful boys and girls
For wine and bread and hymns
Remembering again
We follow the beat of amazing grace
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls
I want to be a thankful boy
Oh, let us be thankful boys and girls
