Rheva Henry - You And You Alone Lyrics

The song presents gratitude as a daily act of worship. Its opening choice to give thanks with an open heart is followed by specific reasons: God’s goodness, mercy, faithfulness, and enduring love. The image of mercy renewed at waking closely echoes Lamentations 3:22-23, where steadfast love and compassion are described as new every morning. Its phrase about worshiping in spirit and truth also directly recalls Jesus’ words in John 4:23-24. Together, those references place thanksgiving within both God’s dependable character and the worshiper’s response.

The sunrise image gives visible form to faithfulness, while love reaching beyond the skies suggests the expansive praise found throughout the Psalms. The bridge narrows the focus to God alone and describes gratitude as joy rather than obligation. Repeated thanks make the chorus a simple prayer, not merely a list of blessings. Across the lyric, waking becomes more than the start of a day: it pictures renewed awareness of heaven, mercy, and a soul stirred to praise God with sincerity.
