The Blind Boys Prayer-Wilf Carter
GDear Lord please make me happy and conteCnted with my life.
For I know there’s others far worse off than Dme.
There are soGme who lie in anguish their bodCies wracked with paGin
As for me I’m oCnly blAind and caDnnot sGee.
My liDttle world is darkness, there’s sunGshine in my heart.
TheDre’s sunsAhine I must spread while I remDain.
And I kGnow that up in heaven my siCght will be resGtored
Where there will be no darkCness, soArrow, teDars or pGain.
I thGank thAee for thDese hands of mine, I thGank thee for my voice
I thAank thee for each blessing that I oDwn
Then I thGank thee for the promise when my lCife on earth is oveGr
I shall gladly sCing and plAay arounDd your throGne.
I knDow the bible tells me that yoGu while here on earth
That heAal the sick and make the blind to sDee.
And I knGow that if I’m faithfull and yCour commandments keGep.
Up in heaven yCou will dAo the saDme for mGe
