Lyrics
For waking me up this morning,
Lord I appreciate Your love
And for keeping me all through the day I meant to say
Thank You Lord for walking right by my side
Every night I always say, without Your help,
I couldn’t make it through the day
Lord I don’t thank You enough,
but I really am grateful for keeping me
Lord I don’t thank You enough,
but I really am grateful
For every tear that I cry
You know what it reminds me of a storm that you already brought me through
For every pain that I feel ,
Reminds me there is no sickness that you
Every night when I fall down on my knees to pray
Lord I hear you telling me,
trouble don’t last always
Lord I don’t thank You enough,
but I really am grateful for keeping me
Lord I don’t thank You enough,
but I really am grateful
Every time I get a chance to take the time I’ll praise You
I’ll never forget all You’ve done for me
Every time I get a chance to take the time I’ll praise You
I’ll remember when You saved my soul from sin
Grateful (3xs)
Lord I don’t thank You enough, but I really am grateful

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Really Am Grateful” centers on sustained gratitude for God’s daily care. The lyrics thank the Lord for waking, keeping, accompanying, and strengthening the singer through ordinary days. Tears and pain are remembered not as final defeats but as reminders of storms already survived. That perspective gives the repeated confession of gratitude its weight: thanksgiving rises from specific experiences of protection, prayer, and salvation rather than from easy circumstances.
The song also presents praise as a continuing response. Its promise to remember what God has done connects deliverance with worship, while the line about trouble not lasting always expresses patient hope in hardship. The references to kneeling in prayer, being saved from sin, and recalling past help keep the message focused on dependence upon God. Together, these themes closely echo biblical calls to give thanks for enduring mercy and to remember divine help during distress.
