Intro – spoken softly over piano/guitar) Yeah… Sometimes we spend so much time chasing the next blessing That we forget the ones already sitting in our hands Slow down for a second… Look around… You made it through things you thought would break you (Hook) Appreciate the small things Be thankful for the big things And stay excited for the things you still praying for Yeah we cried through the hard days Still survived through the heartbreaks Now we praising while we waiting on a little more Appreciate the small things Be thankful for the big things And stay excited for the things you still praying for Cause every closed door Ain’t the end of your story Might be God preparing something greater than before (Verse 1) Used to think success was all money and fame Now I thank God every morning that I’m breathing again Roof over my head, food on the stove People that still love me even when I move slow Learned joy ain’t always lights and applause Sometimes it’s peace when your whole life feeling lost Sometimes it’s laughing with your kids in the hall Or hearing “you okay?” when you felt so small I done had setbacks, losses, stress too Dreams delayed, wondering what God gon’ do But every step back became fuel for the fire Every hard season just rebuilt desire Now I walk different Talk different too Cause I survived nights that nobody knew And if He carried me then He can carry me now So I keep my faith up and my head unbowed (Hook) Appreciate the small things Be thankful for the big things And stay excited for the things you still praying for Yeah we cried through the hard days Still survived through the heartbreaks Now we praising while we waiting on a little more (Verse 2 – rap cadence picks up) I remember them days feeling stuck in the rain Trying hard not to let anxiety drive me insane Bills due, bad news, pressure all around Still somehow God kept my feet on the ground Cause blessings ain’t always instant results Sometimes they hidden inside of the faults Sometimes the answer is “wait right now” Even though your heart wanna break right now Still dreaming Still building Still believing Even when the world say quit this evening I seen miracles happen from patience and prayer Doors unlocked when I thought nobody cared And I ain’t where I wanna be yet But I thank God I ain’t where I used to be yet That’s growth That’s grace That’s purpose Sometimes your scars become proof you worth it (Bridge – melodic) Don’t lose hope now You too close now Everything you prayed for Might be on the road now And every little blessing Every lesson learned Every tear cried Every bridge burned Made you stronger… Made you wiser… Made your spirit climb higher and higher (Final Hook – bigger choir feel) Appreciate the small things Be thankful for the big things And stay excited for the things you still praying for Cause what’s meant for your life Won’t miss you in this lifetime So keep the faith alive and keep your eyes toward the Lord Appreciate the small things Be thankful for the big things And stay excited for the things you still praying for Yeah the wait got purpose And the pain was worth it Your breakthrough might be closer than before (Outro – spoken) So smile a little more… Love a little harder… And thank God for what’s already here While you prepare for what’s still coming.
