Johnny Appleseed
With this song, we often changed the word Lord to Earth for the various religions and non-religious girls in the group. It works just as well. I always substituted “earth” and got along just fine. To me, it actually makes more sense that way!
The Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need,
The sun and the rain and the appleseed,
The Lord is good to me.
And every seed that grows, shall grow into a tree.
And one day soon there’ll be apples there,
For everyone in the world to share,
The Lord is good to me.
