Officer SOE/LoE/Where's "here"?
Psalm 95:2Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;
let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving Day let us be ready to offer thanks as we come into His presence, everything we have that is good comes from Him. Whether we have much or little it is all a gift from God. Let me share another song with you as we get ready to celebrate a day of thanks to God.

Count Your Blessings

Johnson Oatman, Jr., pub.1897

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Refrain

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Refrain

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Refrain
