Grief and Gratitude

[Verse 1]
I’m sitting here again, in this same old car,
Where I once begged for light, while drowning in the dark.
The night I tried to give up, the nights I cut too deep,
I screamed to You, God, take it all, just let me sleep.

[Verse 2]
But here I am today, tears falling just the same,
Not from pain that breaks me, but from healing’s flame.
I feel the weight of loss, the cost to stand and move,
A heart rebuilt by grace, still tender but renewed.

[Chorus]
With grief and gratitude, I lift my hands to You,
For all I’ve lost and all You’re making new.
I’m standing on this edge, unsure but holding true,
Walking forward now, with grief and gratitude.

[Verse 3]
This road ahead is new, four hours from my home,
A season full of change where I must walk alone.
I carry scars and memories, both heavy and so sweet,
But in this quiet moment, Your peace is all I need.

[Chorus]
With grief and gratitude, I lift my hands to You,
For all I’ve lost and all You’re making new.
I’m standing on this edge, unsure but holding true,
Walking forward now, with grief and gratitude.

[Bridge]
I’m letting go of yesterday, the pieces I can’t keep,
Trading pain for promise, climbing hills once so steep.
Though the tears still fall, they fall like gentle rain,
Washing wounds and watering hope, born out of the pain.

[Chorus]
With grief and gratitude, I lift my hands to You,
For all I’ve lost and all You’re making new.
I’m standing on this edge, unsure but holding true,
Walking forward now, with grief and gratitude.

[Outro]
Grief and gratitude, I’m learning to let go,
In Your quiet mercy, I find a place to grow.
