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 restCHORUS
And be grateful
For the love He brings
And be grateful
He gives us everythingVERSE 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 behindCHORUS 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 goodOUTRO x2 (second time soft)
I will be grateful
I will be grateful
I will be grateful
God, You are good. God, You are good2025 Proclaim Lismore Wildfire

This is beautiful, thank you.
It reminds me of one I first heard in 2010 at an ecumenical service, called “Indescribable “. Funnily enough, the original singer’s version is not my favourite though. There’s a very little girl on YouTube who sings it brilliantly 👏
Thanks for commenting, Vivienne.
I can’t find the cover version on Youtube – do you have the link?
