Story Behind The Song

I'm tired of watching mankind brag about all his accomplishments. He doesn't understand that all that has been given to him, the resources and the knowledge....come from our Creator.

Song Description

With so many people around the world struggling to stay alive for one reason or another. Many of us need to step back and see how blessed we are. And give thanks to Him that watches over us.

Lyrics

Thank You Lord for this water
And thank You for this bread.
And I thank You Good Lord for this
Roof over my head.
I am a simple man with basic things
I have a simple life
But what I have to some on earth
It would be like paradise.

Thank You Lord for this sunshine
And thank You for this rain.
And I thank You for the earth that gives us
Food time and time again.
We should be thankful for what we have
Give thanks for what we've got.
But in our greed we can't be glad
For the starving children that we forgot.

Don't look to the left, don't look to the right
Look straight ahead my friend, out of the darkess night
Don't you look in the past, it's time to move to the light
Have faith in the Lord, He'll give you new eyesight.

Repeat 1st verse.

You can't take your toys when it's time to go
You'll stand before the Lord and you'll have to show
All the things you've done to become a man
Is it good enough to get you to the Promise Land?

Repeat
