Thank God

Hank Williams

Chabad Telethon, 14.sep.1986  

There's a road that's straight and narrow
Where the saints have travelled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the martyrs that have gone.
If you're grateful for their victory
And for showing us the way
Give thanks for all your blessings
Get on your knees and pray.

Thank God for every mountain and the sea
Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God.

In this world of pain and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains the glory fountain
To supply our every need.
You can find it in the temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessings
Before you ask for more.

Thank God for every flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for giving life to you and me
Wherever you may be, thank God.
