Dear god,
You have given so much to me,
Free of cost free of fee,
You guide me with your heart,
Because of you I have a safe path,
Being thankful is what you teach,
And I will listen when you preach, and to you I will reach,
Thank you for the roof on my head and food that I eat,
For feet in my shoes and meat on my bread,
Ask and you shall receive,
Like a child asking his father, I only need to believe,
Well, I ask for wealth,
Wealth in knowledge and wealth in friends
Teach me to be kind, to help others, to help them be free,
God to this day you have been along side me!
You are fantastic, helping me grow,
Your love over flows,
God, I love you, 101%, 11 out of ten,
God, thank you,
Amen.
