_GIVE THANKS_ is a live worship album recorded by American singer and
songwriter, Don Moen. It was produced by Tom Brooks for Hosanna! Music, and
became the label's bestselling release, with more than one million copies sold
worldwide.[1] It was certified gold in February 1995 by the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA), in recognition of selling over 500,000
units.[2]
** Recording
_Give Thanks_ was recorded during a live worship service at Covenant Church of
Mobile, Alabama in July 1986. The recording featured worship leader, Don
Moen, along with choir vocalists and members of the congregation.[3] The focus
of the musical release emphasizes God as _Jehovah-Rapha_ (Hebrew: {"content":
"''", "type": "DELIM", "wikinode": "WikiDelimNode"}râpâ'''), which is
translated from the Old Testament as "the Lord, our Healer". The live
recording was followed by an extended time of worship, which included several
reports of physical healings.[4][5]
** Release
The album was released on July 1986, by Integrity's Hosanna! Music. Hosanna!
made a second release under their label seven years later, on September 1,
1993.[6] The recording was released on CD, tape, and digital download, the
latter of which was offered by Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment in
2004.
** Title song
The album includes the song "Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart", which was
written by Henry Smith in 1978. Following the introduction of the song during
a worship service at the Williamsburg New Testament Church in Virginia, a
military couple reintroduced it to a congregation in Germany. The song
eventually caught the attention of executives at Integrity Music. When
Integrity's Hosanna! Music copyrighted the song in 1986, the author was
unknown.<ref name=sacrifice>Terry, Lindsay. _The Sacrifice of Praise: Stories
