Morning Star Grace

*[INTRO]*

I wake to morning soft and clear

The sun breaks through the grey sky

A whisper tells me you are near

And lifts my soul up high

*[VERSE 1]*

I didn't earn the breath of today

But mercy met me at the door

You turned my night to light of day

And gave me so much more

*[VERSE 2]*

There were seasons cold and long

When hope felt far and thin

You gave my sorrow its own song

And taught my heart to sing again

*[PRE-CHORUS 1]*

I count the little things you do

The kindness in the light

Each one keeps leading me to you

And turns the dark to bright

*[CHORUS 1]*

I've got a thankful heart, alive and free

Not for what I hold, but who you are

Your grace keeps running after me

Brighter than the morning star

*[VERSE 3]*

For food and friends around my table

For laughter after tears

For strength when I was barely able

You've carried me through years

*[PRE-CHORUS 2]*

I don't need mountains moved each time

To know your love is true

A quiet prayer, a simple rhyme

Is more than enough with you

*[CHORUS 2]*

I've got a thankful heart, it sings to you

Not just for the answers to my prayer

But for your love that stays so true

I find you everywhere

*[VERSE 4]*

So if tomorrow brings the rain

Or skies of endless blue

In every loss and every gain

My thanks will still be for you

*[OUTRO]*

Let thankfulness be how I live

More than a song I say

For all you are and all you give

I praise you every day
