Lyrics
HE HAS GIVEN ME
I will praise the LORD with all of my heart
With all of my soul I will praise the LORD
I will sing to HIM a thank you Song
HE has given me, HE has given me.
The food I eat
HE has given me, HE has given me
The clothes I wear
HE has given me, HE has given me
The songs that I sing
HE has given me, HE has given me
Even the air I breathe
HE has given me, HE has given me
I will praise the LORD with all of my heart
With all of my soul I will praise the LORD
I will sing to HIM a thank you Song
HE has given me, HE has given me.
My friends and my family
HE has given me, HE has given me
My mummy and my papa
HE has given me, HE has given me
My daughters that I have
HE has given me, HE has given me
Even my husband that I love so much
HE has given me, HE has given me
I will praise the LORD with all of my heart
With all of my soul I will praise the LORD
I will sing to HIM a thank you Song
HE has given me, HE has given me.
The love that I have
HE has given me, HE has given me
The peace that I’ve found
HE has given me, HE has given me
The joy that is inside me
HE has given me, HE has given me
The Faith that keeps me going
HE has given me, HE has given me
I will praise the LORD with all of my heart
With all of my soul I will praise the LORD
I will sing to Him a thank you Song
HE has given me, HE has given me.
Meaning & Inspiration
He Has Given Me is a song of gratitude that treats ordinary provisions as gifts from God. Food, clothing, breath, music, family, love, peace, joy, and faith all become reasons for praise. The recurring promise to praise the Lord with the whole heart and soul gives the lyric a simple devotional center. Thanksgiving is not limited to an exceptional answer to prayer; it extends across daily life and close relationships.
The opening confession closely follows the language of the Psalms, where praise rises from the whole heart. Its inventory of received blessings also fits the teaching of James that every good gift comes from above. By returning to the same chorus after each group of gifts, the song turns remembrance into worship. Material needs and inward graces are named side by side, presenting God as the giver of both daily provision and sustaining faith. The lyric’s accessible repetition makes gratitude its primary spiritual practice.
