I'm having trouble with my eyes

I'm blind as I can be

I'm having lots of problems now

there's not much that I can see

 I don't know what the trouble is

I just don't know what's wrong

cause I never feel quite happy

and I feel I don't belong

I never did a thing that's wrong

I never hurt a soul

I always treat my neighbors right

I'm never mean or cold

I hardly ever go to church

I just don't need that kind of stuff

I do real good for when I go

I put a quarter in the plate

I think that's quite enough

I know God lives a way up there

but what's He ever done for me

and I say, if He ever did it

then I've been to blind to see

I once told a little lie

but it never hurt a soul

the vial of perfume that I took

no one knew I stole

There was once a ragged man came by

wanting food to eat

I put him off the porch real fast

and sent him down the street

I don't have time for silly things

I have important things to do

and he can go next door and beg

for a bowl or soup or two

I never bother any one

even when their sick of dizzy

I don't take them food or help them clean

I'm really quite too busy

I had a rummage sale last week

with pretty things to buy

no one came near and no one looked

they just walked right on by

I don't know why no one stopped by

I feel so hurt and sad

so I said a litte prayer just now

because I feel so bad

and then it seemed I heard a voice

that came from out the sky

the trouble's not with folks near by

the troubles been with ' I '

so I've been selfish and unkind

and now I'm really going to try

to do much better with my friend's

and get rid of this big ' I'

So today I met my neighbor

and I envited her to tea

we laughed and talked 'bout lot's of things

and shared a recipe

so then I said a bigger prayer

and ask Him to forgive

so I can feel the love of God

and start to really live

and now I feel so happy

and my heart is on a high

for now I think of other folks

and got rid of selfish " I "

I've had some trouble with my "I'S

for I just could not see

and I still need a lot of prayers

from down here on my knee's
