Now that we've written and spoken our thanks, let's express it in song!
Sing a song of thanksgiving.
Here are a few song suggestions.
- Count Your Blessings
- Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
- Now Thank We All Our God
- For the Beauty of the Earth
- To God Be the Glory
You may want to sing alone (even silently :) or with the family. Maybe you have a playlist or cd that highlights these type of songs that you could listen to throughout the day.
There are also children's songs and choruses you could sing with your kids.
- Praise Him, Praise Him, All Ye Little Children
- Thank You, Lord
- I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord Forever
- Father, We Thank Thee
I enjoy reading a hymn during my devotions each morning, so I'm planning to read some of the hymns I've listed above throughout the week.
What's your favorite song of praise or thanksgiving?
I enjoy reading hymns during my daily devotional, too; right now, I'm reading through Then Sings my Soul Book 2, and I love reading some of the history behind these hymns. Have you read one of these books?
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read one of those books, but I'll have to check them out. I finished my first Lynn Austin book and it was very good!
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like a good one; I'll have to add it to my reading list.
DeleteYou should check out these books, too. On one page is the hymn, and the opposite page has a short history. It makes a great complement to reading Scripture.
Tracey, thanks for this tremendous reminder! The hymns are so rich and uplifting and such a great way to focus on the Lord and His blessings! Chris
