Key Words: It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD
Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair.
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and how,
I wished I were so fair,
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one foot and wore a crutch,
But as she passed, a smile.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two feet – the world is mine.
And when I stopped to buy some sweets,
The lad who served me had such charm,
He seemed to radiate good cheer,
His manner was so kind and warm;
I said, “It’s nice to deal with you,
Such courtesy I seldom find;”
He turned and said, “Oh, thank you sir.”
And then I saw that he was blind.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two eyes – the world is mine.
Then, when walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue;
He stood and watched the others play;
It seemed he knew not what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said,
“Why don’t you join the others, dear?”
He looked ahead without a word,
And then I knew he could not hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two ears – the world is mine.
With feet to take me where I’d go;
With eyes to watch the sunset glow;
With ears to hear what I would know;
I am blessed, indeed.
God, forgive me when I whine.
