In advance of the holiday, it’s obviously an appropriate time to look at some gospel songs that express a theme of thanksgiving. The Psalms are filled with references to thanking and praising God through song, and I believe God still holds in special regard the use of music to worship and thank Him for all He has done.
Here is a playlist of some of my favorite songs of thanksgiving to God, and His goodness to us. What are some of yours?
- I Could Never Praise Him Enough, Greater Vision, Take Him at His Word
- Thank You, Lord, For Your Blessings, Jeff & Sheri Easter, Thread of Hope
- I Thank My Savior for It All, Gaither Homecoming Friends, Singin’ in My Soul
- My Lord Is Taking Good Care of Me, Inspirations, God Makes No Mistakes
- Still Blessed, Perrys, Changed Forever
- We Need to Thank God, Inspirations, Highway to Heaven

And I know I posted a video of this song last year, but it’s my favorite Thanksgiving song, and one of my all-time favorite songs in general. So I’m exercising my executive privilege as blogger to post it again. Enjoy your holiday!

Great list! I also love the song “In Everything Give Thanks.”
One of my favorite songs too, Brian…..we could never, ever praise HIM enough!
I think I like the Collingsworth version of “I Could Never Praise Him Enough” better than the GV version.
