i bowed my head in shame

when i sat down to count my many blessings

and i saw what the lord had done for me

then i bowed my head in shame

because i know so well

that i haven't been as good as i could be

i saw a beggar standin' on the corner

and he looked like a cold and hungry man

with some money in my pocket

i kept walkin' on

and i passed him by when he held out his hand

when i think of all the things that i've done wrong

i have to sit and bow my head in shame

for the lord has been so good

as he promised us he would

so i wanna praise and glorify his name

i'm gonna try to do my best to thank him

and i'll try to be as good as i can be

though i bow my head in shame

i wanna praise his name

for the many things the lord has done for me

when i think of all the things that i've done wrong

i have to sit and bow my head in shame

for the lord has been so good

as he promised us he would

so i wanna praise and glorify his name

yes

i'm gonna try and do my best

best to thank him

and i'll try to be as good as i can be

yeah

though i bow my head in shame

i wanna praise

praise his name

for the many things the lord has done for me

aw

for the many things the lord has done for me

yes

for the many things the lord has done for me
