I opened a gift this morning
When I opened up my eyes
I'm ready to count each blessing
Oh it's good just to be alive
Lord, it's good just to be alive
I won't take for granted this breath in my lungs
I'll savor Your mercy with each rising sun
I can't see the future, but I see enough
To know I'm my Father's and I, I am loved
When my heart is blinded by darkness
Help me remember all You have done
'Cause You've been faithful, proven You're able
To send the shadows on the run
I'll watch them scatter when morning comes
I won't take for granted this breath in my lungs
I'll savor Your mercy with each rising sun
I can't see the future, but I see enough
To know I'm my Father's and I, I am loved
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
The Maker of mornings, He knows my name
He is my joy, my joy
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
The Maker of mornings, He knows my name
He is my joy, my joy
I won't take for granted this breath in my lungs
I'll savor Your mercy with each rising sun
I can't see the future, but I see enough
To know I'm my Father's and I...
No, I won't take for granted this breath in my lungs
I'll savor Your mercy with each rising sun
I can't see the future, but I see enough
To know I'm my Father's and I, I am loved
