(Verse 1)
Sun’s coming up on a worn-out prayer
Coffee’s cold but I’m still here
Bills on the counter, doubts in my head
Some days feel heavier than lead
But I breathe in grace with the morning light
Even when it don’t feel right
(Bridge)
I’ve learned there’s a blessing
In the breaking and bending
(Chorus)
So I give thanks in the middle of it
When the road’s all dust and the rain won’t quit
When my heart’s still hurting, but I’m standing somehow
I praise Him then, I praise Him now
Through the doors of mercy, I walk on in
Lift my voice, let the healing begin
Every breath I take, every step I make
I give thanks in the middle of it
(Verse 2)
I’ve seen the moon mark another season
Sun go down for a holy reason
Night falls quiet, the world gets still
Even the wild knows who feeds them still
If He holds the lions and the trees that sway
He ain’t letting me slip away
(Brudge)
So I lay my worries
At the feet of mercy
(Chorus)
And I give thanks in the middle of it
When the answers don’t come quick
When the weight of the world’s on my chest somehow
I praise Him then, I praise Him now
From the table to the empty road
Every mile, every load
Whatever I do, whatever it takes
I give thanks in the middle of it
(Verse)
I’ve learned that pain don’t get the final say
It builds a strength that won’t fade away
Trial by fire, faith refined
Hope grows strong when the heart holds on
There’s a peace I can’t explain
Standing guard in the middle of pain
(Bridge)
So I lay it all down, this life I live
Every word, every breath I give
If I’m standing tall or on my knees
Let it all be an offering
(Final Chorus)
I give thanks when the night feels long
When I gotta be brave just to carry on
Joy shows up in the broken parts
Turns scars into works of art
Every gift I never earned
Every lesson that I’ve learned
From the good to the hard, the loss, the grace
I give thanks—yeah, I give thanks
(Outro)
For a love I can’t explain
For a hope that still remains
Hands wide open, heart awake
Thanks be to God—for the gift of grace
