We have many older Thanksgiving hymns, but not as many newer Thanksgiving songs.
Johnny Cash sang this song on an episode in the third season of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. This was a television show starring Jane Seymour and Joe Lando that aired during the 1990s. However, the storyline occurred in the 19th Century.
Cash sang the song specifically for Dr. Quinn’s Thanksgiving episode. The song was written by Josef Anderson.
The song is also known as “I’m Thanking the Lord He Made You“.
Cash released the song on his album, Cash: The Unsurpassed American Masters.
