JJ Heller's song 'Things I'm Thankful For' is a gentle, acoustic reflection on gratitude for everyday blessings. The lyrics list simple joys like morning light, starry nights, skipping stones, and summer rain, culminating in the declaration that the person she loves is at the top of her list. While not explicitly Christian, the song's theme of thankfulness aligns with a Christian worldview of recognizing God's goodness in creation and relationships. The repeated line 'You're at the top of my list' can be interpreted as directed toward God or a loved one, making it suitable for personal or congregational reflection on gratitude.

Morning light
Starry nights
There's so much good in the world
Happy songs
Sing along
These are the things I'm thankful for
Skipping stones
Feeling known
The click of my key in the door
Summer rain
On window panes
These are the things I'm thankful for
I would know just what to say if you asked me
What my favorite is
Of all of the wonder in all of the world
You're at the top of my list
Holding hands
Weekend plans
And finding out what love is for
Open spaces
Fireplaces
These are the things I'm thankful for
I would know just what to say if you asked me
What my favorite is
Of all of the wonder in all of the world
You're at the top of my list
It's how you keep
Showing me
Everything that I missed before
But I see 'em now
Too many to count
All of the things I'm thankful for
These are the things I'm thankful for
