Each day You've given, each debt forgiven
Each breath these are a gift from You
Our hearts are filled with the joy of Your goodness
This thanks we want to give to You
We are the grateful, we sing of your love
We sing of your mercy
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
We are the grateful, we sing of your power
We sing of your kindness
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
The grateful ones
You have created
Bought back and re-made us
Redeemed all for your glory God
So like those before us singing this chorus
We join the song of unending praise
We are the grateful, we sing of your love
We sing of your mercy
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
We are the grateful, we sing of your power
We sing of your kindness
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
The grateful ones
Like the sun light paints the morning
Like the moon fills up the night
Like the songbird sings her sonnet
So our souls cannot stay quiet
We cannot stay quiet
We are the grateful, we sing of your love
We sing of your mercy
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
We are the grateful, we sing of your power
We sing of your kindness
We are the grateful, the grateful ones
The grateful ones
We are the grateful ones
