Celebrating God’s Goodness, Provision & Faithfulness
Prelude
Harvest, Thanksgiving and Creationtide Sundays offer the church a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate God’s abundant goodness.
Worship leaders often look for songs that express:
gratitude for God’s provision,
awe at the beauty of creation,
and a whole-life response of worship.
These two KDMusic songs are especially fitting for Harvest and Creation-themed services. They are singable, Scripture-rich, and suitable for all-age, small-band and acoustic-led worship.
For Worship Leaders
Every KDMusic song comes with free Worship Leader Packs (PDF), chords, lyric videos, scripture notes and CCLI numbers.

Worship Leader Tips for Harvest Sundays
Both songs have been well used by churches at this time of year: in the past year Sun & Rain reached #2 in the CCLI “Seasons” category and #5 in “Harvest”, and May My Days Be a Temple of Praise ranked #3 “Seasons”, #6 “Feast”, #15 “Providence” and #18 “Creation”.
Introducing Sun & Rain
Invite your congregation to reflect: “Where have you seen sun in your life? Where have you needed rain?” Then sing the song slowly and simply, allowing space for personal thanksgiving.
Introducing May My Days Be a Temple of Praise
Begin with a quiet moment: ask the congregation to think of something God has sustained them through. Then move into the song, emphasising God’s ongoing faithfulness rather than one-off events.
Making the most of them
Plan early: download the packs, practise with your team and try the songs in rehearsal well before the service.
Visual support: use the lyric videos, or simple slides with harvest imagery — tables of produce, fields, families.
Connect to the sermon: tie Sun & Rain to “God’s provision in every season”, and May My Days to “our lives as ongoing worship”.
Leave room to respond: after the song, allow a short personal pause, or loop the backing track softly for reflection.
Together the two songs serve both celebration and contemplation, so the set doesn’t simply shout “thank you” but reflects on God’s work in our lives and world.
