          G 
There's a road that's straight and narrow 
         C                     G 
That the saints have travelled on 
      G 
Paved with all the tribulations 
       A                 D7 
Of the martyrs that have gone 
          G 
If you're grateful for their vict'ries 
        C              G 
And for showin' us the way 
          G 
Then give thanks for all your blessin's 
    D7                G 
Get on your knees and pray 


      G             C 
Thank God for every flower and each tree 
      G               A                 D7 
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas 
      G              C               G 
Thank God for givin' life to you and me 
C                G   C     G 
Wherever you may be, Thank God 

Verse: 2 
        G 
In this world of grief and sorrow 
       C                    G 
Filled with selfishness and greed 
      G 
There remains the Glory Fountain 
   A                D7 
To supply our every need 
    G 
You can find it in the temple 
       C              G 
With a welcome on the door 
    G 
But be sure to count your blessin's 
       D7          G 
Before you ask for more 


      G             C 
Thank God for every flower and each tree 
      G               A                 D7 
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas 
      G              C               G 
Thank God for givin' life to you and me 
C                G   C     G 
Wherever you may be, Thank God 

Verse: 3 
   G 
Be forgivin to the wayward 
     C                  G 
Like the Master told us to 
     G 
When He said forgive them Father 
    A                       D7 
For they know not what they do 
     G 
They would change their way of livin' 
   C                   G 
If they could but understand 
   G 
So remember they're your brothers 
     D              G 
They need a helpin' hand 


      G             C 
Thank God for every flower and each tree 
      G               A                 D7 
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas 
      G              C               G 
Thank God for givin' life to you and me 
C                G   C     G 
Wherever you may be, Thank God
