Thankful Lessening
Dear Lord,
I thank you this day
for the things that I don’t have
Ain’t got no troubled mind:
Some of those creditors circling,
wanting a pound of debt flesh
for the bills that ain’t yet got paid
Presently,
it’s gonna have to be late fee
sent that way
Long as the heat and lights stay
switched on,
for the children’s sake
Surely, I’m thankful Lord
for this one other thing:
That I don’t have no backsliding desire
for tempted robbery
I’m thankful to be at peace,
content to have the necessary things
that my family need
So thankful that I don't have
no worries
Dear Lord,
I’m truly thankful
that I don’t have the wanton things
which destroy souls
so prosperously
