VERSE 1
Lift up you hands and surrender to Jesus
Forget all your worries and stress
Don’t let the sunrise be wasted each morning
Lay all your burdens to rest

CHORUS
And be grateful
For the love He brings
And be grateful
He gives us everything

VERSE 2
Lift up your hands and speak the name Jesus
Remove all the doubts in your mind
Before every sunset let go of your anger
Leave all your ego behind

CHORUS x2

BRIDGE x3
In every season
In the air that I’m breathing
In all that surrounds me
God, You are good. God You are good

OUTRO x2 (second time soft)
I will be grateful
I will be grateful
I will be grateful
God, You are good. God, You are good
