Thank God

There’s a road that’s straight and narrow
That the saints have traveled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the martyrs that have gone
If you’re grateful for their victory
And for showing us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessings
Get on your needs and pray.

Thank God
For each flower and each tree
Thank God
For all the mountains and the sea
Thank God
For giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be
Thank God.

In this world of grief and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains a glory fountain
To supply our every need
You can find it in the Temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessings
Before you ask for more.

Be forgiving to the wayward
Like the Master told us to
When He said forgive them Father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of living
If they could but understand
So remember they’re your brotherThey need a helping hand.
