The Next Best Blessing

Don't be angry if your brothers and sisters receive something nice,
That is a blessing from God above,
I'm sure you've been blessed once or twice,
Not one of us deserves a blessing but God blesses us anyway out of his love,...

You should be glad when your brothers and or sisters are blessed,
Don't get so jealous that you let the green eyed monster show,
For God sees your heart and just may have blessed them to put you the test,
So pray and let the resentments go,...

If you have felt or are feeling this way,
Drop to your knees and take it to the cross,
Thats about all I have to say,
Oh, and be careful for the next best blessing could be your loss,...
