[G] There`s a road that`s straight and narrow
That the saints have travelled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the [A] martyrs that have [D7] gone
If you`re [G] grateful for their vict`ries
And for showin` us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessin`s
Get [D7] on your knees and [G] pray.
[Chorus]
Thank God for ev`ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the [A] mountains and the [D7] seas
Thank [G] God for givin` life to you and me
Wherever you may [D7] be, Thank [G] God.
In this world of grief and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains the Glory Fountain
To supply our every need
You can find it in the temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessin`s
Before you ask for more.
[Chorus]
Be forgivin to the wayward
Like the Master told us to
When He said forgive them Father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of livin`
If they could but understand
So remember they`re your brothers
They need a helpin` hand.
[Chorus]
That the saints have travelled on

Get [D7] on your knees and [G] pray.
[Chorus]
Thank God for ev`ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the [A] mountains and the [D7] seas
Thank [G] God for givin` life to you and me
Wherever you may [D7] be, Thank [G] God.
