God created, God created a sprig,
so I could bind the wreaths,
I'm thankful, thankful for pain,
that teaches me to question.
I'm thankful, thankful for the setback,
that will teach me the diligence,
so I could, could bring a gift,
though no strength was left,
I'm thankful, thankful, thankful.
I'm thankful, thankful for weakness,
that teaches me the humility,
humility, humility for joy,
humility without the chains,
for tears, for tears I'm thankful:
they'll teach me to fell,
to living - that, to living - that wail
and shout for pity,
I'm thankful, thankful, thankful.
For desire, for desire for beauty,
I'm thankful for ugliness,
I'm thankful that
love and rancor will counter,
for sweetness, for sweetness of sleep,
I'm thankful for weariness,
I'm thankful for fire catching
and for fizz of weir,
I'm thankful, thankful, thankful.
I'm thankful, thankful for thirst,
that exposes the weakness,
I'm thankful, thankful for anguish,
that perfects works,
for that, for that I love,
though fear clutched my heart,
Lamb, thank you,
you didn't die in vain,
thank you, thank you, thank you...
