[VERSE 1]
    C                      F/C 
The gold of the sunrise is chasing the dark
  C/G                  C2
A gift of new mercies awakens my heart
    Dm7                    F
The bird of the morning is singing her song
Dm7      F            G           
Oh thank God for this country psalm

[VERSE 2]
C                      F/C 
Little feet padder the hardwoods like drums
    C/G                      C2
And boys making noise at the top of their lungs
Dm7             F
Beautiful chaos shatters the calm
    Dm7      F            G             C
But oh thank God for this country psalm

[CHORUS] 
           C                Dm7
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
         F                      C
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
                            Dm7
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
         F                      C
I’ve got so much to be grateful for
         Am                       G
I’ve got breath in this body, and hope in these scars
     Dm7                          F
If I counted my blessings, they’d rival the stars
     Dm7                     F                   Am       G
I’ll praise You forevermore, even if I never get one more
           C    
Praise the Lord

[VERSE 2]
     C                       F
Good food our on table, good wine in my glass
Dm7                          G
Swing tires and bonfires and babies on laps
Am                          F
Grandparents dance when the fireflies turn on
Dm7       F            G       C
Oh, thank God for this country psalm
 
[CHORUS]
 
[BRIDGE]
Dm7                     F
Between the letting go, desperately holding on
C                     G
Help me remember that You’re where my heart belongs
  Dm7                F
A moment of clarity, creation’s symphony
Am                  G
What can I do but respond

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]
    C                          F/C
The moon’s on the rise and the river, she runs
C/G                      C2
All I can say is, “Lord, thy will be done”
  Am                       F
I pull her in closer as we pray for the dawn
Dm7            F             G       C
God bless this mess and this country psalm
