THANKS, LORD

THANKS, LORD


Three score and six years ago, I
Had on this earth arrived.
I thank you Lord that so long I
Have happily survived.

Many a soul fell by the way
As I did trudge along,
My feet marching, my hands toiling,
Lips singing but Your song.

You gave me bread and a warm bed
And fulfilled all my need.
Please bless me and hold my hand while
Towards You I proceed.
