Hezekiah Walker - Grateful Lyrics
Lyrics
I am
Grateful for the things
That you have done
Yes, I'm grateful for the vic-tories we've won
I could go on and on and on
About your works
Because I'm grateful, grateful, so grateful
Just to praise you lord
Flowing from my heart
Are the issues of my heart
It's Gratefulness
[x2]
Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Grateful, Gratefulness
It's flowing from my heart
[x8]
Flowing from my heart
Are the issues of my heart
It's Gratefulness

Grateful - Hezekiah Walker
Meaning & Inspiration
Hezekiah Walker's "Grateful," released on February 26, 2010, stands as a powerful testament to unwavering gratitude, a sentiment deeply rooted in the core of Christian faith. The song eloquently captures the profound human experience of acknowledging God's consistent goodness and unwavering presence, even in the face of life's inevitable challenges. At its heart, "Grateful" is an anthem of remembrance, urging listeners to pause and reflect on the myriad blessings received, both the grand and the seemingly small, all of which originate from a divine source. This profound sense of thanksgiving echoes the psalmist's declaration in Psalm 100:4, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." Walker masterfully conveys that gratitude is not merely a fleeting emotion but a deliberate posture of the soul, a continuous response to God’s faithfulness. The song's message resonates with the teachings found in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which instructs believers to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." This verse underscores the transformative power of gratitude, suggesting that it is a divine pathway to understanding God's perfect plan, regardless of our current circumstances. "Grateful" encourages a recognition of God's provision and protection, mirroring the Psalmist’s unwavering trust in Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." The very essence of the song is to cultivate a spirit that constantly acknowledges God as the ultimate provider, the one who sustains, guides, and overcomes every obstacle. It's an invitation to embody the gratitude of Jesus Himself, who, despite His ultimate sacrifice, offered thanks. This musical expression serves as a powerful reminder that a life lived in sincere appreciation for God’s work in our lives is a life that reflects His glory and fosters spiritual resilience.
