Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. I have two ears to hear the truth, Two eyes to see the good. I have two feet to carry me To places where they should.
I’ll try to use them wisely In my work and play. I thank my Heav’nly Father For making me this way.
2. I have two lips to speak kind words, Two hands to work for me. All these loving helpers Heav’nly Father gave to me.
I’ll try to use them wisely In my work and play. I thank my Heav’nly Father For making me this way.
