JJ Heller's song 'Today' is a gentle, acoustic expression of gratitude for a loved one during a difficult season. The lyrics acknowledge uncertainty, describing a year when 'the glue gave out' and everything felt unstable. Yet the singer finds light and goodness in the presence of a companion, choosing thankfulness in the present moment rather than worrying about the future. The song emphasizes that even when the path ahead is unclear, gratitude can guide us. While not explicitly Christian, its themes of thankfulness and finding light in darkness resonate with Christian values of trust and appreciation for God's gifts.

This was the year the glue gave out
When everything solid became a cloud
Uncertainty swirled around like dust
But home was a safe place for us
When I look in your eyes
All I see is light
And the darkness around us gets smaller
Today
I am thankful for you
Today
I am thankful for you
Are we through this valley or only halfway?
Can't tell if the sky's turning blue or more gray
Don't know what the future has coming our way
But today
I am thankful for you
You color the edges of all we've been through
Everything beautiful comes into view
I see what the headlines could never report
You are what's good in the world
When I look in your eyes
All I see is light
And the darkness around us gets smaller
Today
I am thankful for you
Today
I am thankful for you
Are we through this valley or only halfway?
Can't tell if the sky's turning blue or more gray
Don't know what the future has coming our way
But today
I am thankful for you
Hand in hand
Side by side
Gratitude will be our guide
Heaven knows what we might find tomorrow
But today I am thankful for you
Today
I am thankful for you
Oh, today
I am thankful for you
Today
I am thankful for you
Are we through this valley or only halfway
Can't tell if the sky's turning blue or more gray
Don't know what the future has coming our way
But today
I am thankful for you
Today
I am thankful for you
