The Sound of Gratitude

By Rev. Jeff Byrd

The world is humming quietly

with blessings we have yet to name.

Each breath a note of mercy,

each moment a whispered flame.

 

Gratitude is the rhythm

beneath our busy days,

a steady, pulsing heartbeat

calling us to praise.

 

Not praise for what might happen,

not thanks for someday’s good —

but gratitude for Love already here,

for Life already understood.

 

Today we stand on holy ground,

not by chance, but by design;

for God the Rock is under us,

and gratitude makes us shine.

 

So let our hearts be open,

let our voices gently rise:

Thank You is our sacred song —

the music that multiplies.
