Lyrics Ricky Nelson – I Bowed My Head In Shame
Text:
When I sat down to count my many blessings
And I saw what the Lord had done for me
Then I bowed my head in shame
Because I know so well
I saw a beggar standin’ on the corner
And he looked like a cold and hungry man
With some money in my pocket
I kept walkin’ on
And I passed him by when he held out his hand
When I think of all the things that I’ve done wrong
I have to sit and bow my head in shame
For the Lord has been so good
As he promised us he would
So I wanna praise and glorify his name
I’m gonna try to do my best to thank him
And I’ll try to be as good as I can be
Though I bow my head in shame
I wanna praise his name
For the many things the Lord has done for me
When I think of all the things that I’ve done wrong
I have to sit and bow my head in shame
For the Lord has been so good
As he promised us he would
So I wanna praise and glorify his name
Yes, I’m gonna try and do my best, best to thank him
And I’ll try to be as good as I can be
Yeah, though I bow my head in shame
I wanna praise, praise his name
For the many things the Lord has done for me
Yes, for the many things the Lord has done for me
