Life gets in the way and somedays I find it hard
To even laugh or play - after all is said and done
Have I even prayed?
The gratitude that I should
Have shared with my God, the One who gave me
All the wonders, the blessings that color my heart
In hope and peace, grace that lights my soul’s way
Yes, that gratitude – that thanks
Was it spoken of or even given
To the One who made my way
A way of blessings, a way of joy
A way of kindness, hope and more
A way of love that is alive and holds
The key to my faith, giving me wings
When I wasn’t even sure I could fly
When I didn’t know if I could try
Yes, that gratitude – that appreciation
It melts the heart’s calloused skin
With conviction that when I begin again
I’ll have the answers because I’ve been to Him
The One who shines a light into the darkness
The One who quiets the storm with silence
The One who leads me home when I’m lost
The One who brings victory when I feel afraid
The One who fills my soul with assurance
That everything good will come to me
Because I believe Him, the One who brings me
Out of the pain, into the hope, filling me up
With a blend of joy, peace and eternal love
Yes, that gratitude – appreciates each blessing
The ones that I fail to notice – like hope and affection
Grace to lead me toward the path of peace and joy
The miracle of true belief amid the worst pain and sorrow
A feeling that God will always be with me, providing
The opportunity to take the right way, lift up my soul
To His light – reflecting the sweetness that shines
From a wonderful inspiration, filled with imagination
Wonder discovered amid the blessings He contributes
From the source of all life, the victor, the light
The One who holds the key to hope, faith and love
The key to our blessings – the key to our eternity
The One who gives us all a reason to praise Him
The One who brings us out of the dark that dissuades
Yes, that gratitude – believes and foresees
All the music played by the ones who believe
He is alive, dancing like a dream on the prayer
Of those who listen to their heart and soul
Find a way to worship from their very hope
And give back a piece of their joy to the One
Who goes before them, making a way so they know
He is the answer to every worry, doubt or fear
He will provide the music to every expectant ear
He lights up the heavens and the earth too
With His amazing grace that gives us each the chance
To whisper a prayer, accepting the Savior
The answer to our need for redemption – our need
For the One who fills our life with peace and thanksgiving!
