Gratitude the antidote

The world that’s built on fear

A never ending light

Trying to hold us to the night

Thank you makes it clear

Back into the moment

The vast eternal now

Where God is always with us and
Dm
Holy like a cow

Like a sunrise or a child
Am
Or a garden full of roses

The mind misses the magic

And considers all the poses

Why are thoughts against us

Principalities are there

Whispering indifference

On foundations of despair

🎸 Verse:
Am
Who set up this funhouse
Am
This journey for our soul
C
Where most never make it
C
And lose all their control
F
How do we get back
F
Any sovereignty
Dm
From the lies of demons
Dm
That we pretend to be


🎸 Verse:
Am
Thank you is a pass
Am
To a place outside of hell
C
Gratitude and presence
C
Will lift us where we fell
F
But we have to make a practice
F
To come back into now
Dm
In the garden of our gratitude
Dm
And push that ancient plow


🎸 Verse:
Am
I don’t know the reason
Am
We are in a holy war

Or how we ever come back

To who we were before

Did it start in Eden

With an apple and a snake

Since then have we been fallen
Dm
With this battle as our fate

Dm             Am
The world will lie to us
Am              C
And so will our mind
F                             Dm
So will our miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind


🎸 Verse:
Am
Whatever is the reason
Am
This is where we are
C
The light and the darkness
C
All aiming for our heart
F
The light wants us present
F
In the clutch of gratitude
Dm
The darkness wants us scattered
Dm
With an evil attitude


🎸 Verse:
Am
And we look at the thinking
Am
That justifies the course
C
We see it’s thought itself
C
That brings on the divorce
F
From the Holy Spirit
F
From revelations bloom
Dm
From the love of God
Dm
To the darkness of the tomb


🎸 Verse:
Am
Voices of old demons
Am
We identify as us
C
And then we follow lies
C
The wrong voices that we trust
F
Take us to destruction
F
Take us to despair
Dm
When the gift of God himself
Dm
Has always just been here

Am
So Thank you is my mantra, mantra
C
Maww mawww, maww, maww, maww, maww maww
