Top Ten Thank God

Some have food but they cannot eat
Some can eat but they have no food
You have food and you are fat and fit
Thank the glorious God for He is good

Some have beds but they cannot sleep
Some can sleep but they have no bed
You have bed and always have deep sleep
Thank God you have a place to lay your head

Some can read but they have no books
Some have books but they cannot read
You have big… books and you can read
Thank God that you are not called a crook

Some have legs but they have no shoes
Some have shoes but they have no leg
You have legs and lots of shoes to choose…
Thank God for giving you this privilege

Some have life but they have no hope
Some lost hope and lost their lovely life
Since you have life, please be full of hope
And thank God despite the storms and strife
