Verse 1

The gold of the sunrise is chasing the dark
A gift of new mercies awakens my heart
The bird of the morning is singing her song
Oh thank God for this country psalm

Verse 2

Little feet padder the hardwoods like drums
And boys making noise at the top of their lungs
Beautiful chaos shatters the calm
But oh thank God for this country psalm

Chorus

Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
I’ve got breath in this body
And hope in these scars
If I counted my blessings
They’d rival the stars
I’ll praise You forevermore
Even if I never get one more
Praise the Lord

Verse 3

Good food our on table
Good wine in my glass
Swing tires and bonfires
And babies on laps
Grandparents dance
When the fireflies turn on
Oh thank God
For this country psalm

Chorus

Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
I’ve got breath in this body
And hope in these scars
If I counted my blessings
They’d rival the stars
I’ll praise You forevermore
Even if I never get one more
Praise the Lord

Bridge

Between the letting go
Desperately holding on
Help me remember
That You’re where my heart belongs
A moment of clarity
Creation’s symphony
What can I do but respond

Chorus

Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
I’ve got breath in this body
And hope in my scars
If I counted my blessings
They’d rival the stars

Post Chorus

And I’ll praise You forevermore
Even if I never get one more
Praise the Lord

Outro

The moon’s on the rise
And the river she runs
All I can say is
Lord Thy will be done
I pull her in closer as we
Pray for the dawn
God bless this mess
And this country psalm
