When I feel thirst from scorching heat,
then find myself a shady tree
that offers luscious fruit to eat,
I know the Lord's been good to me.

While strolling through a purple field
to see the clover feed the bee
whose labors will sweet honey yield,
I know the Lord's been good to me.

I've known hard times when hope seemed short,
but when warm friends have heard my plea
and offered up their kind support,
I know the Lord's been good to me.
