Lyrics
So maybe the truth about thankfulness
Isn't that I don't have it
Could it be that I've just been way too distracted
To notice the closeness of God?
Well surprise, surprise
I've had everything I've needed this entire time
But living hopelessly depleted of the joy of life
Wanna know why?
Because it's so easy to get lost in anything other than the Father's eyes
From my social media feed, filling me up with all the "I think I needs"
And my tv screen, to these guitar strings
It seems that everything, even down to the air I breathe
Is toxically persuading me saying, "keep obsessing over lesser things"
God, my thankfulness gets out of focus so easily, and I
Know I keep piling these lists of things You should give to me, but
Every day, I'm reminded that the only way to live is to die to me
Your Word tells me I should strive to live quietly, but
Still I spend so much time asking You for so much more
But what even is "more," when You've already given me more than I could ever ask for?
I could waste my life
Waiting on something You've already put in my hands
Waiting to find the worth of who I am as a man
Misplaced in stuff I could earn on my own or somehow pay for
But You gave me something I can no longer ignore
Jesus, You've given me so much more
(You already gave me way more
Than I could ever dream of
When You gave me You
I'm thankful for You)
