I've got a question at the top of my list,
What did I do lord to deserve this?
All of this sunshine with a promise of spring,
And the joy I feel when a warbler sings.


What did I do to deserve all these treasures?
My health to enjoy life's many pleasures.
A late summer sunset, the sweet smell of clover.
A rainbow whenever the storm passes over.


A baby's finger curled over my own,
A place full of love I can call home.
Friends I hold dear, a gilt-edged dream,
The sound of the river as it ripples down stream.



Someone to love, something to do,
A moon when full, three quarters or new.
The good in each day; the sorrows I’ve missed,
When I’ve done nothing to deserve all of this.


I just look around at a world I trusted
Amazed that it was entrusted to me.
God's Great Love....oh what a Gift.
What did I do Lord to deserve all of this?
