Gratitude

I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
Brother even
when the clouds turn gray
Hail comes around my way
or waves slam into my face
I’ll be giving Him the praise
forever and a day
Never ending cause he’s entitled
to every single grain
Even when the people around me
choose to reject Him
I will follow Christ and live out
my calling no question
To whom shall we go
He’s got the words of life
When He speaks
nourishment fills this soul deprived
When my soul is dying
He breathes in me
Dead bones now alive and
got this heart beating
Man I breathe easy
a profound peace in me
This well run dry transformed
into a sea easy
I live in a world
where it’s hard to find
Hope for humanity
and trust in mankind
I got philanthropic organizations
selling me lies
Claiming that the answer
really resides inside
What a sham
But You say that
with all of this chaos
And shambles we live-in
we find chandeliers in the dross
Looking for hope in the cross
when we’re exhausted and lost
That’s an answer
for any summer or fall
Winter or spring
we can’t deny that
different seasons will bring
Mourning joy
storms or a reason to sing
Still I’ll have reasons to smile
Cause I’ll have my solid
rock to lean on
when life gets all crazy and wild
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
You put a soul beat on
with blank pages
and I will eat that
My hunger to decipher
what my God says is to be that
And to reconstruct the love
that has fallen off to the side
When I would compromise my life
with the bright flash of the lights
And I would pause reminded
by the spirit that dwells inside of me
The grace paid by blood by my Father
who fought and died for me
To resurrect again
so I could paint with a pen
And my portraits portray
how grace saved me from sin
When I was younger
I would try to complete the void
In my heart with a couple nice
dates & a couple walks by the park
Only to venture down a dark path
they never could last
Left me sitting with a broke past
that spoke like a trap
And I fell
you would think that
I would learn from my mistakes
Add another two months
and I'm back walking astray
This is back before I met Him
on a personal level
Now I follow a direction
like the keys on a treble
So let me slow it down once
while I gather my thoughts
The pattern I fought lost
cause I was bought
by the boss or the king
Happiness surrounds me in the ring
When I sing a couple songs
that expresses
all of the things that I feel
Lost in the love plus
I’m passionate to reach
the still lost through
Beat breaks and my languages
So I will sing despite
the mist and the rain
Cause I know that I don’t deserve it
but you love me the same
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
I sing a simple song of praise to You
With a heart full of gratitude
