Help Me, Thank You

I just recently discovered the recording artist, Jason Gray, thanks to my sister and brother-in-law. He's got a hit song on Christian radio these days called, "More Like Falling in Love," which is good, but the song below is very catchy and I love the lyrics (you'll have to look for it on iTunes to hear the audio).

Help Me, Thank You

The two best prayers I know
Either one is always apropos
Like my oldest friends
They know just what to say
Some days my cup of blessing fills
Other days I trip and when it spills
I'm not guessing either way
I know just what to pray

Help me, help me
Thank you, thank you
Whether you're riding high or feeling low
These are the two best prayers I know
"Help me" and "thank you"

The more life I live I find
The two prayers intertwine
Like my fingers do
When I bow my head to pray
Blessings can be so confusing
Winning when I think I'm losing
The wounds of yesterday
Might be my saving grace today

Help me, help me
Thank you, thank you
Whether you're riding high or feeling low
These are the two best prayers I know
"Help me" and "thank you"

With eyes wide open at the wonder of it all
Or with broken wings when I'm spinning in free fall
"Hallelujah!" "Deliver me!"
They're rising up inside of me
Rolling off my tongue,
Before I thought to bid them come

I just had that song stuck in my head within the past 24 hours!

I really should have given credit to Erica as to why I know it . . . she kept asking for "more" of it the first time I heard it in your car. :-)
