  When listening to the chorus and pleasant sounds you hear, thank your GOD in heaven for forming you the Ear; When hearing praises sung to HIM from voices old and young, give thanks once more to mighty GOD for giving us the Tongue;  When bursts of sunshine first appear at dawn� then wane at night; Thank your GOD almighty for your precious gift of Sight; When flowers fragrance drifts through air and recognize the rose; Give thanks again my blessed friend that GOD has made your Nose;  or dew, and rain or such; Thank your GOD in heaven for your precious gift of Touch; Though daily use of these great gifts we sometimes don't give thought; Consider well the gifts we have through what our GOD has wrought;  on the blessings we've received; On things that are so obvious that barely we've perceived; These gifts though great diminish when we think of what HE's done; By sending us a Saviour HIS dear and precious SON;  and all our days are spent; Be grateful you accepted HIM for You He will present; HE alone was worthy to pay for all our sin, twas HE that gave the victory over which we couldn't win; Someday I'll kneel at HIS great Throne and thank HIM gratefully; For grace HE's shown to grant a life to such a wretch as me;  We don't deserve HIS kindness, to hell I should have went; instead HE sent his precious WORD that I would then repent; HIS gifts so great befuddle me, of how HE could bestow; The wondrous things HE gave to me, the why I'll never know; When last I feebly clutch at life, and breath doth slip from me; I want to thank my merciful GOD for allowing me to "be".
