(Drum fill, smooth bassline enters)
Yeah, give thanks and praises
Listen to the word, heart full of gratitude
Walk humble, walk wise, yeah
Lufabi on it!!!!
Early morning sun is shining down on the street
I take a look around at all the people I meet
Some carry heavy burdens, some walking with pride
But they forget the source of the strength deep inside
You build your mansion high on a foundation of sand
Thinking you are the master of your own destiny's plan
But remember the scripture, let the truth be your light
Don't let the ego pull you away from the right
Walk with humility, keep your spirit real low
Because the Most High is the only one who lets you grow
Don't puff your chest out, don't boast of the gold
For a jealous God watches the stories unfold
He can bring you down, leave you standing with naught
So give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
Yes, give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
We see the vanity rising like a wave on the sea
Everyone chasing status, trying so hard to be free
But freedom ain't money, and freedom ain't fame
It's knowing your maker and honoring his name
If you exalt yourself, you will surely be humbled down
Even the king can lose his scepter and crown
So bow your head in prayer, let the arrogance fade
Be grateful for the path that the Father has made
Walk with humility, keep your spirit real low
Because the Most High is the only one who lets you grow
Don't puff your chest out, don't boast of the gold
For a jealous God watches the stories unfold
He can bring you down, leave you standing with naught
So give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
Yes, give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
Appreciate the breath inside your lungs today
Appreciate the food upon the plate, yeah
Whatever you deserve, it comes from above
Wrap your heart in his infinite love
Don't be a fool, don't be a slave to the pride
Keep your faith walking right by your side
So let us lift our voices, let the melody rise
See the glory reflected in the vast open skies
We are humble vessels, we are clay in his hand
Guided by his spirit across this beautiful land
Whatever you have, big or small, it is grace
Put a smile on your soul, put a calm on your face
Give thanks to the giver, give praise to the source
And let the river of humbleness finish its course
Walk with humility, keep your spirit real low
Because the Most High is the only one who lets you grow
Don't puff your chest out, don't boast of the gold
For a jealous God watches the stories unfold
He can bring you down, leave you standing with naught
So give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
Yes, give thanks for the blessings that his mercy has brought
Give thanks and praises
Walk humble, stay blessed
He is the Alpha and Omega
Only in him do we find our rest
Stay humble, yeah
Give thanks, give thanks
(Fade out with melodic guitar licks and steady drum beat)
