Introduction:

 G                                                                             C 
Dear Lord please make me happy and contented with my life.
                                                                                           D 
For I know there?s others far worse off than me.
                         G                                                           C                                   G 
There are some who lie in anguish their bodies wracked with pain
                               C         A                 D         G 
As for me I?m only blind and cannot see.
           D                                                                   G 
My little world is darkness, there?s sunshine in my heart.
       D               A                                                         D 
There?s sunshine I must spread while I remain.
               G                                                   C                           G 
And I know that up in heaven my sight will be restored
                                                       C             A             D             G 
Where there will be no darkness, sorrow, tears or pain.
         G         A               D                                           G 
I thank thee for these hands of mine, I thank thee for my voice
         A                                                                   D 
I thank thee for each blessing that I own
                   G                                                                 C                                   G 
Then I thank thee for the promise when my life on earth is over
                                 C                 A             D                   G 
I shall gladly sing and play around your throne.
         D                                                       G 
I know the bible tells me that you while here on earth
               A                                                                   D 
That heal the sick and make the blind to see.
                 G                                                         C                                   G 
And I know that if I?m faithfull and your commandments keep.
                             C               A             D             G 
Up in heaven you will do the same for me
