Scripture
Psalm 103:2
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:”
Quoted from King James Version (public domain).
The story
Why this verse
Psalm 103 begins with a command to the soul: bless the LORD, and do not forget. Forgetting is the quiet danger the psalm addresses. Blessing becomes invisible when we stop noticing it. So the psalm rehearses what God does — forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, renews — and ties each mercy to the ordinary texture of a life. Everyday Blessings stays close to that rehearsal. It treats gratitude as a practice rather than a mood: a daily turning back to the Giver, counting what has already been given.
Lyrics
The words of the song
Eh eh eh!
Lift your voice now!
Dance for the Maker!
He gives it all!
Verse 1
Who wakes the morning, opens the sky?
Who puts the strength in me to rise?
Who fills my lungs when I don’t ask?
Who gives me grace for every task?
The air I breathe, I did not buy
The sun that shines, falls from on high
The beating heart inside my chest
Is daily proof that I am blessed
Pre-Chorus
So I will not be silent today
I will thank You in every way
For hidden gifts I failed to see
Your mercy flows continually
Chorus (4 Bars)
Life in my body, praise the Lord!
Breath in my lungs, praise the Lord!
Everyday blessings, praise the Lord!
Dance for the Giver, praise the Lord!
Verse 2
Water to drink and food to eat
Shoes on my feet when I walk the street
Eyes that can see, ears that can hear
Love all around though You stay near
Many things I called ordinary
But now I know they’re necessary
Your hand provides both night and day
You never stop, You make a way
Pre-Chorus
So I will not be silent today
I will thank You in every way
For hidden gifts I failed to see
Your mercy flows continually
Chorus (4 Bars)
Life in my body, praise the Lord!
Breath in my lungs, praise the Lord!
Everyday blessings, praise the Lord!
Dance for the Giver, praise the Lord!
Bridge
For the wind, thank You
For the rain, thank You
For my hands, thank You
For this chance, thank You
For each sunrise, thank You
For each heartbeat, thank You
For Your goodness, thank You
Forever thank You
Final Chorus (4 Bars)
Life in my body, praise the Lord!
Breath in my lungs, praise the Lord!
Everyday blessings, praise the Lord!
Dance for the Giver, praise the Lord!
Reflection
Sit with it
Try naming three specific benefits from today — not general blessings, but particular mercies. Gratitude grows where attention goes.
A prayer
Lord, teach me to notice. Forgive me for the gifts I have walked past. Let today’s ordinary mercies turn my heart back to You.
Amen.
