So Much to Thank Him For: A Thanksgiving Cantata

Description

So Much to Thank Him For is a Thanksgiving choir cantata written and compiled by Clint W. Kerns, ThD, with piano arrangements by Donna K. Kerns. Designed for the local church choir, this collection combines beloved songs of testimony, grace, blessing, and thanksgiving with original narration that carries the congregation through a worshipful reflection on the goodness and faithfulness of God.

The program begins with “Thanks to Calvary” and “Thank God for Grace,” reminding us that our greatest reason for thanksgiving is the salvation and grace we have received through Christ. From there, the cantata moves through songs such as “It’s Been Worth Every Mile,” “Bless the Lord,” “I Have Been Blessed,” “I Sing Because,” “I Just Want to Thank You Lord,” “Thank You,” and “Safe Thus Far.” Narration throughout the program ties these songs together into a unified message of gratitude for God's grace, provision, protection, and faithfulness.

The cantata concludes with “So Much to Thank Him For,” bringing the entire program to its central theme: when we consider where God has brought us from, what He has brought us through, and all He has given us in Christ, we truly have so much to thank Him for.

This cantata was not recorded by the Concord Baptist Church Revival Youth Choir, but was prepared by Clint and Donna Kerns as a complete Thanksgiving presentation for church choirs. It provides churches with a Christ-centered program that keeps the emphasis where Thanksgiving belongs, not merely on the blessings we have received, but on the God from whom every blessing comes.
