(Verse 1) O Heavenly Father, our fortress so strong, Grant us your wisdom, guide us along, Resisting temptations, staying pure and right, In your loving arms, we find our light. (Chorus) Rise above, in the name of the Lord, With divine protection, we are restored, In the rhythm of faith, we dance and sway, In Jesus' name, we find our way. (Verse 2) From the Book of Mormon, your love does shine, In Psalms and Doctrine, your word divine, Grant us the courage to stand so tall, In your grace, we hear the righteous call. (Chorus) Rise above, in the name of the Lord, With divine protection, we are restored, In the rhythm of faith, we dance and sway, In Jesus' name, we find our way. (Bridge) With every beat, with every rhyme, Your love surrounds us, for all time, In reggae rhythms, we sing our plea, Oh Lord, in your love, we're free. (Chorus) Rise above, in the name of the Lord, With divine protection, we are restored, In the rhythm of faith, we dance and sway, In Jesus' name, we find our way. I am grateful for the morning sun, That greets me when the night is done. I am grateful for the sky so blue, A canvas vast, an endless view. I am grateful for the gentle rain, That washes away the world's pain. I am grateful for the stars at night, Guiding me with their soft light. I am grateful for the love I find, In the hearts of those, so kind. I am grateful for the air I breathe, For every moment I live and seethe. I am grateful for the lessons learned, For every scar, for each time I burned. I am grateful for the strength within, To rise again, to begin and win. I am grateful for the tears I've shed, For they remind me of love not dead. I am grateful for the laughter loud, That rises free, a joyful cloud. I am grateful for the hands that hold, When the world seems dark and cold. I am grateful for the dreams at night, That fill my soul with pure delight. I am grateful for the silence deep, That cradles my heart as I weep. I am grateful for the chance to give, To share, to help, to love, to live. I am grateful for this life, its hue, For all it's brought, for the old and new. May this gratitude we feel inside, Lead us to live with hearts open wide.. Love and compassion for one another. (INTRO: UPLIFTING, holy angelic vocals of praise, "I am Grateful) (Verse 1) The mornin' sun peeks through the blinds, chasinv' away the night A brand new day, a gift of time, fillin' my heart with light I raise my voice in grateful praise, for the heavens painted blue A canvas vast, a reminder, of God's endless love, forever true (Chorus) Oh, I am grateful, for Your mercy, Your grace so divine A shelter from the storm, a love that forever will shine Your gentle hand guides my way, through every twist and turn I am grateful, Lord, for You, for all the lessons I learn. And still a good person to mankind.
