I thank God for this day
For some time to play outside
For the birds in the trees
For His love that's deep and wide
For the air that I breathe
For my friends and family
That's why I say thanks every day

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart
I'm glad for what I have
That's an easy way to start
For the love that He shares
As He listens to my prayers
That's why I say thanks every day

I thank God for this night
For the stars in the sky
For the hug from my mom
For my special lullaby
For the chance to have rest
For the ways that I am blessed
That's why we say thanks every day

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart
I'm glad for what I have
That's an easy way to start
For the love that He shares
As He listens to my prayers
That's why we say thanks every day
That's why we say thanks every day
