Simple Mercies

Every breath I take, glory to Your name

Simple mercies falling like the rain

I wake up every morning, eyes open to the light

Another day of favor, You've kept me through the night

I see the birds in flight, singing praises to the sky

The fish beneath the waters, the owl's watchful eye

You feed them every season, Lord, You meet their every need

If You care for all creation, how much more You care for me

Thank You for the simple things, the blessings I can't see

For every meal upon my table, for the roof that covers me

For bringing me back safely, when I step out of my door

These graces flow from heaven, from Your holy throne they pour

Hallelujah, praise Him, for mercies new each day

Thank You Lord for simple things, in every single way

I return home in the evening, protected by Your hand

No weapon formed against me, in Your shelter I will stand

The food that fills my body, sustenance and strength

You provide in every season, go to any length

Like You clothe the fields in flowers, paint the sunset gold

Your faithfulness surrounds me, more precious than fine gold

Thank You for the simple things, the blessings I can't see

For every meal upon my table, for the roof that covers me

For bringing me back safely, when I step out of my door

These graces flow from heaven, from Your holy throne they pour

Hallelujah, praise Him, for mercies new each day

Thank You Lord for simple things, in every single way

Yes Lord, thank You Jesus

For the simple mercies, amen
