Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Thank you for giving me this morning
Hmmmm. I wonder if it's related to the one I used to sing in the sixties with the Catholic Youth Organization:





That's all that comes back just now. The rest will come back at midnight. I didn't really like the song back then, but we sang it a lot.
-Joe-
I suppose the song that comes closest to the one requested is this. It has the same metrical pattern as the song I know, so I'm imagining they're related..

THANK YOU.

Thank you for giving me this morning
Thank you for every day that's new.
Thank you that I can know my worries
Can be cost to you.

Thank you for all my friends and
 brothers,
Thank you for all the men that live,
Thank you for even greatest enemies
That I can forgive.

Thank you I have my occupation,
Thank you for every pleasure small,
Thank you for music, light and
 gladness,
Thank you for them all.

Thank you for many little sorrows,
Thank you for every kindly word,
Thank you that everywhere your
 guidance
Reaches every land.

Thank you I see your word has meaning,
Thank you, I know your spirits here
Thank you because you love all people,
Those both far and near.

Thank you, Oh lord you spoke unto us,
Thank you, that for our words you care,
Thank you, Oh lord you came amongst us
Bread and wine to share.

Thank you, Oh lord your love is
 boundless,
Thank you that I am full of you,
Thank you, you made me feel so glad
And thankful as I do.
