Lesson 3: Dig Those Holes
Handout 2

Johnny Appleseed Grace (song)

Oh, the Lord’s been good to me. 
And so I thank the Lord 
For giving me the things I need: 
The sun, the rain and the appleseed; 
Oh, the Lord's been good to me. 

Oh, and every seed I sow 
Will grow into a tree. 
And someday there'll be apples there 
For everyone in the world to share. 
Oh, the Lord is good to me. 

Oh, here I am 'neath the blue, blue sky 
Doing as I please. 
Singing with my feathered friends 
Humming with the bees. 

I wake up every day, 
As happy as can be, 
Because I know that with His care 
My apple trees, they will still be there. 
The Lord's been good to me.

I wake up every day 
As happy as can be, 
Because I know the Lord is there 
Watchin' over all my friends and me 
The Lord is good to me. 

-----SPANISH----- 

Dios se acordó de mí, 
Y a El le agradeezco 
Porque me dio 
Un Corazón 
Y asî amar su creación, 
Dios se acordó de mi.
