Another day is waking up As I stumble to my feet Down the stairs, You're waiting there At the secret place we meet And I wasn't long on my knees Till I heard You whispering That the greatest gifts in this life Are found in the simple things And I closed my eyes And I searched for words Words to describe this thankfulness I feel inside And my heart begins to sing a song Of gratitude to You A song of praise for the simple things So much to do, so little time We hurry through each day We seldom see the treasures God has placed along the way The simple things that make us laugh And sometimes make us cry The little blessings God has placed In each and every life And I closed my eyes And I searched for words Words to describe this thankfulness I feel inside And my heart begins to sing a song Of gratitude to You A song of praise for the simple things A childlike faith is such a simple thing That's all You ask a searching heart to bring And I closed my eyes And I searched for words Words to describe this thankfulness I feel inside And my heart begins to sing a song Of gratitude to You A song of praise for the simple things A song of praise for the simple things A song of praise for the simple things Ooh, yeah
