I Thank God For Cookies

I thank God for cookies and sugar in my tea
For candies and cakes laced with syrup and honey
I thank God for His gracious providence to me
For physical food, He provides me with daily

But more than mere food, help me to feed on Your Word
Help me to do and delight in what I have heard
May Your Word taste sweeter than cookies each day
May It renew my mind and guard each word I say

I thank God for cookies and sugar in my tea
But never more than His Word that nourishes me
I thank God for His gracious providence to me
For spiritual food, He provides me with daily
