Grateful
R.L. Walker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

(I am) I am
Grateful for the things
That You have done
Yes, I'm grateful for the victories we've won
I could go on and on and on
About Your works
Because I'm grateful, grateful, so grateful
Just to praise You, Lord

Flowing from my heart
Are the issues of my heart
It's gratefulness

This time, I want y'all to help us do it
Lift your hands in this atmosphere and say "I am grateful"
I am
Grateful for the things (for the things that You have done)
That You have done (look at Him and tell Him, yes, I'm grateful)
Yes, I'm grateful for the victories we've won (tell Him "I could go on and on and on")
I could go on and on and on
(About Your works) about Your works
(Because I'm grateful) because I'm grateful, grateful, so grateful
Just to praise You, Lord (lift Your hands and say "flowing from my heart")
Flowing from my heart
Are the issues of my heart
It's gratefulness

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Gratefulness, it's flowing from my heart

Flowing from my heart

Are the issues of my heart
It's gratefulness
