In Service

Thank You God for those who care
About the living they see out there
Those that are born just kept alive
Walking talking but torn inside

Thank you Lord for those that live
Seeing purpose and that they give
Those that see what’s going on
Not ignoring singing that song

Thank you friend with love with in
You see the world as it is kin
You see the help you can supply
And when asked you do not lie

Thank you Time for that you give
The cause and reason goodness lives
Bless the eyes and bless your ears
That find the needs while we are near

Thank you Heart for all the starts
Giving us the living part
Proving us a reason to live
Help us with that we need to fulfill
 
Thank You Heaven for seeing me
Giving me a reason to believe
Making me happy I have a part
Making help possible giving me a heart
