Thank God - Roy Acuff

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

There’s a road that’s straight and narrow

That the saints have traveled 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

Then give thanks for all your blessings

Get on your knees and pray

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

In this world of grief 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

Be forgiving to the wayward

Like the Master told us to

When He said, «Forgive them, Father

For they know not what they do»

They would change their way of living

If they could but understand

So remember they’re your brothers

They need a helping hand

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
