Coffee brewing, morning light,
Another chance to get it right.
Keys in hand, familiar roads,
Small routines, heavy loads.
I used to rush right past the day,
Looking for more, looking away.
Now I’m learning to slow my pace,
There’s gratitude hiding in this place.
Pre-Chorus
It ain’t always loud or new,
Most of the good comes quietly through.
Chorus
I’m finding reasons to be grateful,
In the ordinary, in the plain.
In the doing and the showing up,
In the sunshine and the rain.
It’s not the big wins or the headlines,
It’s the mercy that repeats.
I’m finding reasons to be grateful
In the simple things I meet.
Verse 2
Traffic stops, deep breaths taken,
Lessons learned, hearts still breaking.
Shared hellos, a stranger’s smile,
Someone walking with me awhile.
Dishes stacked, hands in the sink,
Time to pause, time to think.
Life keeps moving, fast and sweet,
Grace shows up in the in-between.
Pre-Chorus
If I pay attention, I can see,
Every moment’s carrying a gift for me.
Chorus
I’m finding reasons to be grateful,
In the ordinary, in the plain.
In the doing and the showing up,
In the sunshine and the rain.
It’s not the big wins or the headlines,
It’s the mercy that repeats.
I’m finding reasons to be grateful
In the simple things I meet.
Bridge
Thank You for breath, thank You for time,
Thank You for hope that still feels mine.
Thank You for work that wears me out,
And rest that comes when I lay it down.
If this is all I’m promised now,
Then this is enough—here’s my vow.
Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)
I don’t need perfect…
I just need present.
Final Chorus
I’m finding reasons to be grateful,
Every step along the way.
In the small yes’es and quiet wins,
In the work of every day.
If I keep my eyes wide open,
I can see what grace repeats—
I’m finding reasons to be grateful
In the simple things I meet.
Outro
So I’ll wake up and say thank You,
Before I ask for anything.
There’s a blessing in the living,
If I’m willing just to see.
