I'm Grateful

Mahalia Jackson


I look up at the heavens when day is through 
Once again, there's a good day I owe to you 
With a world to watch over, still you watch me too 
I'm grateful, grateful. 

When I sit at my table, I say a prayer 
For the good things upon it that you put there 
And my loved ones around me, not an empty chair 
I'm grateful, grateful

You have sent me good times 
You have sent me bad times 
Through the good and bad times 
You always send me a song to sing 

When I lye on my pillow, I'm thankful for 
All the wonders you've given and more in store 
And you in your kindness wakes me up once more 
I'm grateful, grateful 
Lord, to thee.
