Thank God Songtext
von Roy Acuff

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 knees and pray

Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
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 the 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 me

Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God

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 brothers
They need a helping hand

Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God
