I owe, I owe, don't you know
In everything I do
Either way I hesitate
When it comes to gratitude

If I think about how things turn out
Whether good or bad
I really should be grateful
For all I do and do not have

Grateful for the skin I'm in
That holds it all together
Count it all off as a win
The days that I encounter

Grateful for the friends I have
Along with family
From days first light, well into the night
That I have them here with me

For my job I'm grateful
Though I do at times complain
Sometimes I find it necessary
I'm sure a few of you do the same

Grateful I know Jesus
And that he calls me friend
When he sees me, he knows my needs
And thankfully forgives my sins

I'm grateful for the sunny days
And also, days of rain
Which helps to green the garden
And the beauty it displays

There's so much to be grateful for
In our every day to day
If things don't go right in this life
Be grateful all the same
