It was a Monday night and Joyful Noise (the gospel group) ws having a "family" meeting. Dr V. P. W'ierwille* was sitting with us and during the evening, he stated "someone ought to write a song called Thankful." The next evening, I attended a bible fellowship at the horne of Milford and Betty Bowen (who are now my in.laws). The teacher that evening shared on being thankful I took the message very personally that evening, especially after the comment I had heard the night before. So, the following morning I sat down and wrote this little song. I intentionally tried to make the song simple enough for a child to understand and memorize. It must have worked because children of all ages have been singing this song for many years. Colossians 1:12, 3:15-17 *Dr. V. P. Wierwille, who is now
asleep awaiting Cbrist's retain, had the idea for and was the driving force
behind the formation of the original Joyful Noise group.
