Thank you Lord

We thank You Lord, for Your goodness,

To the human race.

Your light and Your mercy,

Your holiness and Your grace.

A beautiful world in which to live,

A beautiful life because of the life that You give;

Oh, we thank You for Your blessings on this place.

Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for Your blue sky stretched taunt overhead.

And on earth, Thank You for meat, and fruit, and bread.

Thank you for the water I drink

Water in my household sink

Water where swims the mink

Thank You for the power to think

Thank You, Lord. I meant every word that I said.

THANK YOU, LORD

Thank You Lord for sharing your world with me

Like the sight and sound of a peaceful sea,

The structure and smell of an evergreen tree,

Thank You Lord for sharing your world with me.
