This gift of life
Oh, I treasure it above everything
This gift of life
I'm so thankful, Lord knows I'm thankful to be livin'

Ah, it's the only thing you can't buy with money
And it's the only thing that you can't buy
And it's such a blessing to be born

This gift of life
Oh, I really love, I really love, I really love
I love this feelin'

This gift of life
Every day, it keeps on, it keeps on, it keeps on revealin'
All the wonderful, the marvelous, and the glorious things of all

I'm so thankful that I'm alive with this gift of life
Said, I'm truly blessed, yes, I am
With this gift of life

It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful, wonderful (this gift of life)
It's so wonderful

And I wanna thank you for giving me the privilege just to live
So I that I can give all that I can
I'm so thankful to be able to make this long, long journey

Oh, Lord, I appreciate all the little things that you do
'Cause I like, I like the sunshine
And I like the cloudy days
I like the rain
I like snow
And I like to hear, I just like to hear the wind blow
I like everything on this earth
