Thank You,

Thank You, Lord
(Playing ~ "Give Thanks")

Even though I clutch my blanket
And growl when the alarm rings each morning,
Thank You, Lord, that I can hear.
There are those who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes tightly closed
Against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank You, Lord, that I can see.
There are many who are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed
And put off the physical effort of rising,
Thank You, Lord, that I have
the strength to rise.
There are many who are bed fast.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic,
When socks are lost, toast is burned,
tempers are short,
Thank You, Lord, for my family.

Even though our breakfast table never
looks like the pictures
in the magazines, and the menu
is at times unbalanced,
Thank You, Lord, for the food we have.
There are so many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job
is monotonous,
Thank You, Lord, for the
opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble
and bemoan my fate from day to day,
And wish my circumstances
were not quite so modest,
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of life !!
