9. Thanking The Good Lord by Merle Haggard
Merle Haggard captures Johnny Cash’s Thanksgiving ideal in “Thanking the Good Lord.”
Even when you might feel like you are at rock bottom there is still so much to be thankful for.
“When I thought the end was upon me I found my purpose in you. Let the power that made me let me prosper and be fair in all things that I do.”
“Thanking the Good Lord” was released in 1987 on Merle Haggard’s Chill Factor album.
Next up is Kris Kristofferson’s “Thank You for a Life.”
