Lyrics
Verse 1
Every day I wake to find
You give me breath
And I'm alive
There's nothing better in this life
Than knowing You
Verse 2
I look and see
What You have made
The earth and skies
All give You praise
There's nothing better in this life
Than living for You
Bridge
I am Yours
And You are mine
And forever I will shine
For You
Jesus You're so good to me
I won't live for another
I'll sing forever and ever
There's nothing better
Than living for You

Meaning & Inspiration
This children's song celebrates how good it is to know Jesus. It begins with the simple daily fact of waking up and receiving breath, and the refrain "There's nothing better in this life" follows each thought, first about knowing God and then about living for Him.
The second verse points to creation, saying earth and skies give praise for what God has made. The short lines "I am Yours" and "And You are mine" express belonging, and the closing words describe Jesus as good and promise to sing forever. The theme of knowing Him above all else matches Paul's words in Philippians 3:8 about the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus.
Short lines, repeated phrases and clear statements make the song easy for young singers to learn, and the refrain gives parents and teachers a simple way to talk about why a life lived for Jesus matters.
