Ingratitude

If ingratitude be numbered

Amongst the most of grievous sins

Then before this day has slumbered

May we pray that gratitude in us wins

In everything give thanks

For this is the will of God

Let us sit on the river banks

And smell the sweetness of the sod

Let us go there alone to relax

And ponder our role in His dealings

Let us kneel while the sun warms our backs

And confess to Him, His hand is in all things

May we gain the perspective to go on

Knowing that He is aware of our every need

May we know that there is a plan just beyond

To help us find joy in the journey- indeed

(For through our trials our souls can be freed)
