OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE [Intro] Put the rock in your hand. Don't tell me what's wrong yet. Just hold it. Feel the weight. Now— name one thing you've got. [Silence] Thank You, Lord. START THERE. [Verse 1] Shame taught you to count the losses. Who hurt you. Who left you. What changed. What got taken. Fear taught your eyes to search the room for the next thing going wrong. But those same eyes opened this morning. You breathed before you complained. Your heart kept beating while you slept. Before the old voice made its list— GOD HAD ALREADY GIVEN. [Pre-Chorus] So hold that rock. One thing. Not everything. ONE THING. And say— THANK YOU. [Chorus] OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE. Not what might leave— WHAT'S HERE. Not what might break— WHAT'S HERE. Not tomorrow's fear— WHAT DID GOD GIVE TODAY? Breath in my lungs. Hands I can hold. Eyes on the Book. Another day to know my Lord. Hold the rock. Name the gift. THANK HIM FOR ONE THING. OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE. [Verse 2] You don't have to feel wonderful to say thank You. You don't have to fake a smile. You don't have to deny what happened. Gratitude doesn't call evil good. It just refuses to let evil be the only thing you can see. [Silence] There is still something here. Find it. A blanket. A drink. A hand. A chair. One breath that came without you having to earn it. [Pre-Chorus] Hold that rock. ONE THING. Thank Him. Then tomorrow— ONE MORE. [Chorus] OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE. Not what might leave— WHAT'S HERE. Not what might break— WHAT'S HERE. Not tomorrow's fear— WHAT DID GOD GIVE TODAY? Breath in my lungs. Hands I can hold. Eyes on the Book. Another day to know my Lord. Hold the rock. Name the gift. THANK HIM FOR ONE THING. OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE. [Long Instrumental] [Bridge] And when shame says— YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH— don't wrestle it for an hour. Pick up the rock. Thank You for my breath. Thank You for my hands. Thank You for this day. Thank You for Your Word. Thank You that I can still LOOK UNTO YOU. [Silence] Shame says— LOOK AT YOU. Fear says— LOOK WHAT'S COMING. Gratitude says— LOOK WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN. [Build] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. FROM ABOVE. So lift your face. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. LIFT YOUR FACE. [Breakdown] One rock. One hand. One breath. One thank You. Again. One rock. One gift. One God who did not change because you had a terrible day. You can be angry and still find one. You can be hurting and still find one. You can be crying and still find one. GRATITUDE DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HURT. It means pain doesn't get EVERYTHING. [Final Chorus] OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE! I will not spend today mourning tomorrow. I will not let what was taken blind me to what was given. I've got breath— THANK YOU, LORD! I've got hands— THANK YOU, LORD! I've got the Book— THANK YOU, LORD! I've got this moment— THANK YOU LORD! Hold the rock. Name the gift. Let your eyes rest on the page. Then do it again tomorrow. ONE THING. ONE THANK YOU. ONE BREAK IN THE PATTERN. OUR WORD IS GRATITUDE. [Outro] Before shame speaks— thank Him. Before fear predicts— thank Him. Before yesterday steals today— thank Him. [Silence] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. [Silence] Hold the rock. What have you got? [Long Silence] THANK HIM. JESUS IS THE LORD.
