Lyrics
Back when I was a kid I thought gifts from God only came from church
But the more that I love, the more I learn, it’s not always the way it works
Sometimes you don’t see it till your looking back
When ya didn’t get what ya thought ya had to have
Cus He had a bigger plan than the one you had
Yours didn’t work out and aren’t you glad
When you take a look around it ain’t hard to find
Everybody’s got things that money can’t buy
If the ones ya love are sitting right beside ya
Then I’d say ya got a lot
The best things in life are straight from His hands
Like raising kids on a piece of land
A little piece of mind when the day is done
Where ya think that comes from
That’s gifts from God
It makes ya thankful for the hills that we climb
For the waves that we ride
For the lows and the highs
For the wrongs made right
For the songs we sing
For the dreams we dream
Makes ya thankful for everything
Hallelujah every day’s a gift from God
Hallelujah every day’s a gift
Hallelujah every day’s a gift from God
Hallelujah every day’s a gift
Hallelujah
Where ya think that comes from
That’s gifts from God
Hallelujah
You know that’s gifts from God
Hallelujah
Every day’s a gift from God
Hallelujah
Every day’s a gift
Gifts from God

Meaning & Inspiration
Gifts From God finds divine generosity in ordinary life rather than limiting it to explicitly religious settings. The opening reflection looks back on disappointed plans and recognizes that an unwanted outcome can later appear merciful. From there, the song names gifts that money cannot purchase: loved ones nearby, children, land, peace at the end of a day, songs, dreams, and the full range of lifes highs and lows.
Its repeated hallelujah turns gratitude into worship. The song does not deny difficulty; hills, waves, wrongs, and failed expectations all remain part of its picture. Yet those experiences are gathered into a confession that each day is received from God. That outlook closely reflects the biblical description of every good gift coming from above and the call to give thanks in every circumstance. With conversational country language and domestic images, the lyric presents gratitude as a habit of recognizing Gods care in family, work, rest, correction, and another day of life.
