I Am Thankful I Woke Up Today

There’s a sun in the sky

Clouds are going by

I see the morning dew

This breaking day anew

And all I can really say

I am thankful I woke up today

Chorus

There’s beauty in the morning

While the sun is burning

All the dewdrops jewels away

The Saviour’s in my heart

With Him I make a start

O I am so thankful I woke up today

My body aches in pain

It may even rain

But I know blessed peace

My joy it cannot cease

For my heart will not dismay

I am thankful I woke up today

Chorus

There’s beauty in the morning

While the sun is burning

All the dewdrops jewels away

The Saviour’s in my heart

With Him I make a start

O I am so thankful I woke up today

Another chance to raise

A day full of praise

To Him who sends the light

After the dark of night

Breaks the dawn with sunshine ray

I am thankful I woke up today

Chorus

There’s beauty in the morning

While the sun is burning

All the dewdrops jewels away

The Saviour’s in my heart

With Him I make a start

O I am so thankful I woke up today

Thankful for the living

For just the giving

Of this new day on earth

Stretching on from sweet birth

Cruel death has been kept at bay

I am thankful I have woke up today

Chorus

There’s beauty in the morning

While the sun is burning

All the dewdrops jewels away

The Saviour’s in my heart

With Him I make a start

O I am so thankful I woke up today
