Grateful: The Musical

I've been listening to this song by John Bucchino for years. It's on his album, Grateful: The Songs of John Bucchino and is appropriately called, "Grateful". Here are the lyrics, and a link to listen to the song. Have a blessed week!

I've got a roof over my head
I've got a warm place to sleep
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep


I've got a heart that can hold love
I've got a mind that can think
There may be times when I lose the light
And let my spirits sink


But I can't stay depressed
When I remeber how I'm blessed

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful


In a city of strangers
I've got a family of friends
No matter what rocks and brambles fill the way
I know that they will stay in the end


I feel a hand holding my hand
It's not a hand you can see
But on the road to the promised land
This hand will shepherd me


Through delight and despair
Holding tight and always there


Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful


It's not that I don't want a lot
Or hope for more, or dream of more
But giving thanks for what I've got
Makes me so much happier than keeping score


In a world that can bring pain
I will still take each chance
For I believe that whatever the terrain
Our feet can learn to dance

Whatever stone life may sling
We can moan or we can sing


Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed
And duly grateful
