Gloria

Wake up in the morning, feel the sunlight on my face

Take a quiet breath and step into a steady grace

My name is Gloria, I’ve learned to take it slow

Walking with a patience that only I could know

Through the trials and the waiting, I kept my spirit high

Looking up to heaven, seeing hope up in the sky

Lord, I thank You for another day

Every morning is a blessing coming my way

Thirteen years on dialysis, but I’m still standing tall

By Your mercy and Your power, I survived it all

With my hands raised up, I just gotta say

Lord, I thank You for another day

Look at all the love, see the family we’ve grown

The sweetest little seeds that my heart has ever sown

Being a mother is the greatest gift I knew

Now I'm a grandmother, watching all their dreams come true

I pour my spirit in them, give them all I have to give

They're the beautiful and shining reasons why I push to live

Lord, I thank You for another day

Every morning is a blessing coming my way

Thirteen years on dialysis, but I’m still standing tall

By Your mercy and Your power, I survived it all

With my hands raised up, I just gotta say

Lord, I thank You for another day

It hasn't always been easy, there were tears upon my face

But I traded in my worries for the comfort of Your space

I’m a fighter, I’m a believer, and my faith is running deep

Got a promise to my family that I’m always gonna keep

Hallelujah for the journey, hallelujah for the light

Walking through the shadows, stepping out into the bright

Lord, I thank You for another day (Oh, I thank You)

Every morning is a blessing coming my way

Thirteen years on dialysis, but I’m still standing tall

By Your mercy and Your power, I survived it all

With my hands raised up, I just gotta say

Lord, I thank You for another day

Yes, I'm counting every blessing today
