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
