Blessing in Everything

   First, He stripped me of my knees
     Thank the Lord, I didn’t wheeze  

   Then He robbed me of my sight
     I thanked the Lord for the peaceful night

   Next my hearing dimmed
     I thanked the Lord for gossip trimmed

   And when my mind began to go
     I thanked Him for what I didn’t know
