Recorded by hank williams, sr.<br>Words and music by fred rose<br><br>[g] there's a road that's straight and narrow<br>That the saints have travelled on<br>Paved with all the tribulations<br>Of the [a] martyrs that have [d7] gone<br>If you're [g] grateful for their vict'ries<br>And for showin' us the way<br>Then give thanks for all your blessin's<br>Get [d7] on your knees and [g] pray.<br><br>Chorus<br>Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree<br>Thank God for all the [a] mountains and the [d7] seas<br>Thank [g] God for givin' life to you and me<br>Wherever you may [d7] be, thank [g] god.<br><br>In this world of grief and sorrow<br>Filled with selfishness and greed<br>There remains the glory fountain<br>To supply our every need<br>You can find it in the temple<br>With a welcome on the door<br>But be sure to count your blessin's<br>Before you ask for more.<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Be forgivin to the wayward<br>Like the master told us to<br>When he said forgive them father<br>For they know not what they do<br>They would change their way of livin'<br>If they could but understand<br>So remember they're your brothers<br>They need a helpin' hand.<br><br>Chorus
