“Thanksgiving Song,” Friend, Nov. 1979, 48 Thanksgiving Song Words and music by Rock E. Oakeson 1. Heavenly Father, I’m thankful to Thee For life and its wonders, the earth and the sea, For fam’ly who love me and help me to be The kind of a child who’ll again live with Thee. 2. Each day I’m grateful for friends who are kind And teachers who help me develop my mind. The Lord in His goodness helps me ev’ry day. I’ll show Him I’m thankful by living His way.
