[Verse 1] Alhamdulillah for dawn For breath in my chest For the plate in front of me And the roof over my head For every door that closed When I thought I lost my way You kept what was not for me And saved my heart today For every gift I held And every gift unseen You filled my hands with mercy More than I could dream [Pre-Chorus] I was fed when I was hungry Held when fear came near You were kind in every danger You were always here [Chorus] My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful For every mercy I did not even know My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful What You kept was kindness What You gave was gold [Verse 2] For my family at the table For their laughter and their prayer For the love that wakes me gently In a home that You prepared For my parents and my well-wishers For the friends who speak my name And the prayers they send before me Like rain in Your great grace For health in each new morning For happiness in my days For the strength to keep on thanking In the quiet and the praise [Pre-Chorus] I was shielded in the shadows When the road grew steep and cold You were mercy in the fear You were peace inside my soul [Chorus] My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful For every mercy I did not even know My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful What You kept was kindness What You gave was gold [Bridge] And when my eyes grow still And this life fades away Open the eyes of my soul Let me see Your face Surround me with Your mercy Let me enter light With a heart that kept on hoping Till the end of night [Final Chorus] My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful For every mercy I did not even know My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful When my eyes are closing Open soul to You My Lord, I am grateful So grateful, so grateful All I am is Yours And all I have is true
