Oh the Lord is good to me

And so I thank the Lord

For giving me the things I need

The sun and the rain and the appleseed

Oh the Lord is good to me

 

For every seed I sow

An apple tree will grow

And there will be apples there

Enough for the whole wide world to share

The Lord is good to me

Johnny Appleseed.... Amen!

 

I owe the Lord so much

For everything I see

I'm certain if, it weren't for him,

There'd be no apples on this limb

Oh, He's been good to me.
