[00:15.485] I sing a simple song of praise to You
[00:20.954] With a heart-full of gratitude
[00:26.071] I sing a simple song of praise to You
[00:31.411] With a heart-full of gratitude
[00:36.288] Brother, even when the clouds turn gray
[00:39.034] Hail comes around my way, or waves slam into my face
[00:41.250] I'll be giving Him the praise, forever and a day
[00:43.817] Never ending cause he's entitled to every single grain!
[00:46.520] Even when the people around me choose to reject Him
[00:49.136] I will follow Christ and live out my calling -- no question
[00:52.004] To whom shall we go? He's got the words of life
[00:54.398] When He speaks, nourishment fills this soul deprived;
[00:57.175] When my soul is dying, He breathes in me --
[00:59.314] Dead bones -- now alive -- and got this heart beating
[01:01.550] Man, I breathe easy, a profound peace in me
[01:04.218] This well run dry transformed into a sea -- easy
[01:07.602] I live in a world where it's hard to find
[01:10.101] Hope for humanity and trust in mankind
[01:12.676] I got philanthropic organizations selling me lies
[01:15.353] Claiming that the answer really resides inside [16]
[01:17.937] -- what a sham. But You say that with all of this chaos
[01:20.436] And shambles we live-in, we find chandeliers in the dross
[01:23.209] Looking for hope in the cross when we're exhausted and lost?
[01:25.802] That's an answer for any summer or fall
[01:28.464] Winter or spring; we can't deny that different seasons will bring
[01:30.981] Mourning, joy, storms, or a reason to sing
[01:33.464] Still, I'll have reasons to smile
[01:35.768] Cause I'll have my solid rock to lean on when life gets all crazy and wild
[01:38.963] I sing a simple song of praise to You
[01:44.423] With a heart-full of gratitude
[01:49.900] I sing a simple song of praise to You
[01:54.897] With a heart-full of gratitude
[01:59.491] You put a soul beat on with blank pages and I will eat that
[02:02.446] My hunger to decipher what my God says - is to be that
[02:04.939] And to reconstruct the love that has fallen off to the side
[02:07.423] When I would compromise my life with the bright flash of the lights
[02:09.987] And I would pause reminded by the spirit that dwells inside of me
[02:12.777] The grace paid by blood by my Father who fought and died for me
[02:15.302] To resurrect again - so I could paint with a pen
[02:17.804] And my portraits portray how grace saved me from sin
[02:20.568] When I was younger I would try to complete the void
[02:22.557] In my heart with a couple nice dates & a couple walks by the park
[02:25.559] Only to venture down a dark path - they never could last
[02:28.104] Left me sitting with a broke past, that spoke like a trap
[02:30.583] And I fell..you would think that I would learn from my mistakes
[02:33.474] Add another two months and I'm back walking astray
[02:36.041] This is back before I met Him on a personal level
[02:39.149] Now I follow a direction like the keys on a treble
[02:41.274] So let me slow it down once while I gather my thoughts
[02:43.679] The pattern I fought - lost, cause I was bought by the boss or the king
[02:47.498] Happiness surrounds me in the ring
[02:49.531] When I sing a couple songs that expresses all of the things that I feel
[02:51.863] Lost in the love plusI’m passionate to reach the still lost through
[02:56.023] Beat breaks and my languages
[02:57.587] So I will sing despite the mist and the rain
[02:59.669] Cause I know that I don't deserve it but you love me the same
[03:03.251] I sing a simple song of praise to You
[03:07.633] With a heart-full of gratitude
[03:13.253] I sing a simple song of praise to You   With a heart-full of gratitude  ……
