Things We Take For Granted

Lord, you know I take for granted
My hearing and my sight.
And, at times, I forget to thank you;
When I say my prayers, at night.

I feel blessed that I'm not speechless, Lord,
So I can spread your precious word
And, if I fail to be your messenger,
Your loving truths may not be heard.

So many things we take for granted, Lord,
And we fail to realize
Until we meet someone, on life's highway,
Whose deaf and dumb, or have no eyes.

These feet I take for granted, Lord,
(That I can't afford to lose)
Have helped me walk that extra mile
In someone else's shoes.

So, Lord, I want to thank you, now,
For blessing me so much
With these five senses you've given me:
Sight, taste, smell, hear, and touch.
