[Verse 1]
Gratitude is the offering
She told me that when I had nothing
Empty pockets
Heavy eyes
Still she said
“Lift your hands to the sky”
Give thanks for glory in small things
Every breath
Every heartbreak
Every morning
A gift to the Divine source
Even when I felt so far off course
[Chorus]
I’m a pillar of glory
I stand firm in the storm
Pillar of enduring spirit
Heart bruised
But warm
I was broke in the body
But the soul stayed bright
I’m a pillar of glory
Rooted deep in the light
[Verse 2]
Strength is the pillar I lean on
Quiet courage when the fear runs
Whispers saying
“You’re not done”
“I see your shadow and your sun”
So I bless all the days that broke me
Every scar another story
Every loss another door
Opening back to the Source once more
[Chorus]
I’m a pillar of glory
I stand firm in the storm
Pillar of enduring spirit
Heart bruised
But warm
I was broke in the body
But the soul stayed bright
I’m a pillar of glory
Rooted deep in the light
[Bridge]
Hands up high
(I give thanks, I give thanks)
Tears in my eyes
Still I dance
Still I dance
Every fall
Every rise
Is a prayer in disguise
[Chorus]
I’m a pillar of glory
I stand firm in the storm
Pillar of enduring spirit
Heart bruised
But warm
I was broke in the body
But the soul stayed bright
I’m a pillar of glory
Rooted deep in the light
