Is It Fair?

Is It Fair?

We never forget to say "give me,"

When needy how quickly we plead,

But how oft we forget to say "thank you"

When the Lord has supplied every need.

It seems that we only say "thank you"

Each time that Thanksgiving draws near;

Is it fair to say "give me" so often,

And "thank you" just one time a year.

We never forget to say "help me;"

In trouble how quickly we pray,

But how oft we forget to say "thank you"

When he's chased all our trouble away.

It seems that we only say "thank you"

Each time that Thanksgiving draws near;

Is it fair to say "give me" so often,

And "thank you" just one time a year.

We never forget to say "spare me"

From sorrow, from sickness, and tears,

But how oft we forget to say "thank you"

To the One who has kept through the years.

It seems that we only say "thank you"

Each time that Thanksgiving draws near;

Is it fair to say "give me" so often,

And "thank you" just one time a year.
