Can't comprehend what you've done for me
Can't find a reason or rhyme
All I know is I'm not supposed to hold it inside
I think my heart's about to explode, explode
This gratefulness that I cannot hold, not hold
Can't keep it in, I gotta let go, let go
It's overflowing
Funny thing 'bout this thing called grace
There are no words to describe
But I will praise the rest of my days, always trying
I think my heart's about to explode, explode
This gratefulness that I cannot hold, not hold
Can't keep it in, I gotta let go, let go
It's overflowing like a river of life
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Flowing deep and wide
I think my heart's about to explode, explode
This gratefulness that I cannot hold, not hold
Can't keep it in, I gotta let go, let go
It's overflowing
My heart's about to explode, explode
This gratefulness that I cannot hold, not hold
Can't keep it in, I gotta let go, let go
It's overflowing
It's overflowing
It's overflowing, oh-oh
It's overflowing
