Lyrics

I Thank God For The Little Things 
©2004 Thomas Flanery
 (Verse 1)
The slamming of the screen door
As the kids run out to play
Smudge prints on the fridge
Means they had their lunch today
And to show they had a good nights sleep
I still have beds to make
And though these blessings really test my faith
I thank God for the little things

(Chorus)
I thank God for the little things
He gives me each day
The things I often overlook
When I take the time to pray
And though they may seem small
Oh the joy that they bring
I thank God for the little things

(Verse 2)
That flee bitten old hound dog
That messes up my yard
But he’s a friend that listens
When the days been long and hard
That forty hour work week
Still gets the bills all paid
And though these blessings really test my faith
I thank God for the little things

(Bridge)
Like the feeling that I get when my son hugs me goodnight
Or my grandkids little kool-aid smiles as they hold me tight
Or sitting in a porch swing, holding hands with my wife
I finally opened up my eyes.
I thank God for the little things

(Chorus)
I thank God for the little things
He gives me each day
The things I often overlook
When I take the time to pray
And though they may seem small
Oh the joy that they bring
I thank God for the little things
