I lead kids in worship regularly, and one Sunday morning I asked them to thank the Lord for specific things (not just for "everything!"). I made a mental note of that thanksgiving list and the following week I was able to write a song incorporating their simple prayers of appreciation! I also focused on the idea that we can be reminded to give God thanks every time we take a breath or feel our heartbeat, which is in itself a gift of life!
For the smile that you gave me
For the very special way you made me
For a family that loves me
And everyone who takes care of me
For a home that I can sleep in
And a bed to snuggle deep in
For toys and games that I love playing
Yes, I gotta keep on saying
Chorus:
Thank You, Lord (Thank You, Lord)
I wanna thank you (Thank You)
With every breath I
Thank You, Lord (Thank You, Lord)
I wanna thank You (Thank You)
With every beat of my heart
For the food you make so yummy
Even vegetables to fill my tummy
For the friends you’ve given to me
Who cheer me up when things seem gloomy
For the sunshine every morning
And the rain that comes down pouring
For all the stars in Your creation
I’ve gotta give my appreciation
Chorus
For the Word and for Your Spirit
For a church where I can hear it
For Your promise never to leave us
And the faith to trust in Jesus
Chorus
Chorus
