Thanks a Lot

before i rest this happy day
i set my pen to give God praise
someone woke me up this day
openen my eye's to be awake
someone thought to see me through
all my troubles each as due
someone feed me when i hungered
just as stomach growled and thundered
someone saw my need for love
and sent an angel from above
someone kept my family well
all are safe and of the Savior they can tell
and someone made me like i am
not a movie star just a man
someone made me simple and kind hearted
and forgave me for the fights i started
some might say; "it hurts too much
to praise God."
and some might say that
"in all it is very very odd."
but i see the things he does for me
and someone special i must be
to have a God i can not see
and know his goodness
falls on me
