Gratitude

7 songs

Songs of gratitude and remembering — guarding the heart against forgetting the God who carried you when you had nothing.

Gratitude here is not a mood; it is remembering. “Forgot the Famine” comes from Deuteronomy 8, where Moses warns that full tables make people forget who fed them. “I Give My Thanks” answers the Savior’s suffering with nothing but thanks. “Here We Go Again” starts the day grateful for another chance, and “Glorious” explains why a man answers “how are you?” with “glorious” even in hard seasons. Every song includes its lyrics and the story behind it.
