Pray
God, Forgive Me
When I Whine
Today,
upon a bus,
I saw a girl
with golden hair.
I envied her,
she seemed so gay,
And I wished
I was as fair.
When suddenly
she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble
down the aisle.
She had one leg
and used a crutch.
But as she passed,
she gave a smile.
Oh, God,
forgive me
when I whine.
I have 2 legs,
the world is mine.
I stopped to buy
some candy.
The lad who sold
it had such charm.
I talked with him,
he seemed so glad.
If I were late,
it'd do no harm.
And as I left,
he said to me,
"I thank you,
you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk
with folks like you.
You see,"
he said,
"I'm blind."
Oh, God,
forgive me
when I whine.
I have 2 eyes,
the world is mine.
Later while walking
down the street,
I saw a child
with eyes of blue.
He stood and
watched the
others play.
He seemed not to
know what to do.
I stopped a moment
and then I said,
"Why don't you
join the others dear?"
He looked ahead
without a word.
And then I knew
he couldn't hear.
Oh, God,
forgive me
when I whine.
I have 2 ears,
the world is mine.
With feet to take
me where I'd go.
With eyes to see
the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear
what I'd know.
Oh, God,
forgive me
when I whine
I've been blessed indeed,
the world is mine.
