I Am Grateful

  I may not have a lot,
But I am grateful for so much,
For all the blessing I have got,
And not just things I can touch.
I have a roof over my head
That keeps me save and warm.
In my comfortable bed
I’m safe from the storm.
I may not have worldly wealth
And at my age I’m somewhat feeble
But I’m in good health;
Better than a lot of people.
Our needs have been provided for
As we have been carried in His hand.
When our way was hedged He opened a door.
It’s His footsteps in the sand.
I live in a place of beauty
With good people all around.
It’s a place of security
Where love and harmony abound.
I have a loving wife
And children who I love.
It’s not been an easy life
But I have been blessed from above.
I live in a free land
And a great nation
With opportunity on every hand;
The best in all creation.
I am free to worship my Savior
Who gave his life for me
Despite my behavior
And set me free
From sin and death.
I will approach Him on bended knee
Grateful for all until my final breath.
