Give Thanks For The Fish

God I gave you thanks for this beautiful fish

It will make for a scrumptious dinner dish

Vexed by the praises the fisherman had overheard

Everyone giving thanks to God but to him, hardly a word

They should be giving the thanks to me

Hours I’d spent catching these fishes at sea

And now what praise, what have they to say

Not a word, they are satisfied to give me a measly pay

Kind sir, the Fisherman’s customer said

Shouldn’t you too praised the Lord with a bowed head

Fishes are in the Seas bountifully

Our God allowed you to fish successfully

Rains were quiet and winds were still

There were no storms and the sea was tranquil

He, our Lord made it possible to find

Every fish you sold today, theirs and mine

For days before the fish you caught were few

I saw you returned without and I prayed that you

Should get a better day the next time you go to sea

He answered that prayer so I gave God thanks for your bounty
