Dad and I are all that’s left
and it’s pretty depressing
At this time the LORD has said
Get your best dish together
Getting in the spirit
Engineered that way
Scrutinized and falling short
life can be so confusing
Who knows I don’t walk the walk?
I will see how he’ll use me
God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But he’ll get my best
I fell down in many ways
but got into the spirit
God won’t be in second place
all, but him, disappear and
Again, God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But he’ll get my best
God is not incidental
Frosty windows, warm inside
as the wind blows, it’s cozy
All us, sinners, warmed and kind
gladly bringing the roast in
So, we’re in the spirit
Though it rains today
Eating apples to the core
I’m a forced vegetarian
Though the world wants more and more
I won’t be a contrarian
God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But will get my best
Life’s been getting cold and hard
But that’s subject to friendships
Fire renders molten rock
Love makes butterballs tender
Again, God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But he’ll get my best
God’s not incidental
He’s been blessing me
giving me everything I need
I’ll be thanking him
sitting ’round, eating all I see
My birthday’s just around the corner
I’m old and over the hill
and of an ancient race
my family’s not that great
but my friend is the Master of fate
Back to my Thanksgiving time
And how I’d been uplifted
Deer meat’s tough to get just right
But now I have a mission
Friend of every outcast’s
in my house today
Plan and dream but praying’s best
’cause it brings our best Friend in
When you’re put to take life’s tests
stronger forces get levelled
God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But he’ll get my best
Not my words, the Bible’s:
God is a consuming fire
Jesus lifts me higher
Walk the walk to talk the talk:
It’s not awkward or rotten
to be glad to help with all
in the way of our progress
God will get all my love
He won’t get “the rest”
But he’ll get my best
This Thanksgiving may prosperity
peace, fun and rest be for everyone
