Songs of Thanksgiving 2018 Volume 2

Hey Friends,

This is Odie and I am happily reporting in from Ohio. Today finds me with the Morgan side of my family. The Thanksgiving festivities are starting early for us in Hillsboro. 

I love my Morgan crew so much! I am blessed to be in this family. Any time we are all together we have two things, delicious food and good times! I always seem to laugh until I hurt. I know this will be a fabulous day!

Last Saturday I started a mini-series of posts called Songs of Thanksgiving 2018. Click here to read volume 1 This week is volume 2 of 3. Songs help me put my thankfulness into words and also put in the correct frame of mind for gratitude. 

When I started contemplating this series today’s song was the 2nd one that came to mind. This song reminds us to be thankful always no matter what the circumstances. When I think about thanking God in all things I think of Psalms 107:1.

Oh Give thanks unto the Lord, For He is good: for His mercy endureth forever

I can always thank God for He is Good and His mercy endures forever!

When life does not seem to be going the way we had hoped and planned, we must still be thankful! God can see the complete picture and I want to thank Him always. Somedays I have to stop and give myself a pep talk and a reminder to be thankful. 

Today’s featured song is In Everything Give Thanks. It is another one from the archives that will always be true. Jeff and Sheri Easter first recorded this song in the early 90’s. Charlotte Ritchie also recorded it on a solo project several years ago. Both versions are favorites around our house. I could not find links to either one online. 

I did find a 2010 recording from a Gaither project. In this version, Charlotte Ritchie is joined by Jeff and Sheri Easter providing background vocals. You can find it here on Apple Music or here on YouTube.

Thank you for visiting with me today. I will close with the song lyrics. 

Odie

In Everything Give Thanks 

Written by Aaron Wilburn and 

Sheri  Easter

Chorus 

In everything give thanks

With all your heart give praise 

For the Lord we serve will never let you down In everything give thanks

With all your heart believe 

That the Lord can take a circumstance 

And turn it all around

Verses 1

 When you want sunshine

 to brighten up your day

But you find the clouds rain on your parade

Don't forget somewhere 

Someone you may not know

is thanking God for a rain 

To make the crops grow

Chorus 

In everything give thanks

With all your heart give praise 

For the Lord we serve will never let you down In everything give thanks

With all your heart believe 

That the Lord can take a circumstance 

And turn it all around

Verse 2

When troubles trouble you 

And you think life's not fair 

When you need someone

And there's no one there

Remember all the times that you feel alone 

Are the times He'll use to make you strong

Chorus 

In everything give thanks

With all your heart give praise 

For the Lord we serve will never let you down In everything give thanks

With all your heart believe 

That the Lord can take a circumstance 

And turn it all around
