I THANK THE LORD ABOVE

 

I thank the lord above

As I stand in the quiet of the morn

And when spring lambs are born

For the fields so full of flowers

And the peace of the twilight hours

I thank the lord above

For the blueness of the sky

And for a new born babies cry

For the smell of summer rainfall

And the joy of a songbirds call

 

I thank the lord above

When winters shroud is on the land

And when I take my beloved’s hand

When my lovers face is all aglow

And when we make angels in the snow

 

I thank the lord above

As I stand at the alter with my bride

And when I look at her with pride

When I stand together with my wife

I thank the lord for my life
