GOD YOU’VE BEEN GOOD TO ME Once in the morning And once in the night And sometimes in between I say a prayer and thank my God, For all he’s given me. Years of good health An ethic for work Two blessings bestowed on me And now in old age I’m singing His praise Oh! God you’ve been good to me. In the days of my youth When winning was all I had a few wins And I had a few falls Now youth is a short span In the life of a man But Oh! My God you’ve made mine so grand. I’ve had a good life And I had a good wife Five offspring, we’re mighty proud Now out on their own With values taught at home Oh! God you’ve been good to me. I’ve had my share of mourning And sorrow and grief are no stranger to me But I had my God to share the load Oh! God you’ve been good to me. Donald H. Macdonald April 14, 2012
