Lyrics

Every Little Thing I Have

When I feel selfish, I tell myself this
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
The taste of ice cream, the breath I'm breathing
Every little thing I have is a gift from you

Though I ignore it, my planet orbits
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
And though I'm sleeping, my heart keeps beating
Every little thing I have is a gift from you

Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!
I have to thank you for...

New understanding, music for dancing,
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
The way a hug feels, the way my hurts heal
Every little thing I have is a gift

I know that life can be sad, even tragic
Frightening and unfair
But it's because we've become so accustomed
To the goodness around us everywhere

Forgive me each time, I'm slow to realize
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
This kind of reverence makes all the difference
Every little thing I have is a gift from you

Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!
I have to thank you for...

A word to guide me, loved ones beside me
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
Help in disaster, the sound of laughter
Every little thing I have is a gift

I never asked for my friends or my family
The peace a prayer can bring
How could I pay what it's all worth to me?
Why on earth would you give me everything?

Freedom to leave you, wisdom to need you
Every little thing I have is a gift from you
Courage to trust you, privilege to love you
All of this is a gift! All of this is a gift!
All of this is a great big gift!
