“In Everything Give Thanks!” Gaither feauturing Charlotte Ritchie, Jeff & Sheri Easter

By

In Featured, Gospel Music, Headline

This is a beautiful song to begin a new day with a heart full of gratitude and praise. No matter what circumstances we may be facing at the moment—whether our days are filled with joy and blessings or challenges and trials—we are called to give thanks to the Lord our God. Gratitude is not based on our situation but on God’s unchanging love, faithfulness, and goodness. As the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” When we choose to thank God in every season, we strengthen our faith and remind ourselves that He is always in control and working for our good.

Today, take a few moments to reflect on the many blessings God has given you. What are you thankful for today? Count them one by one, no matter how small they may seem. Waking up to see another day is already a wonderful gift and a fresh opportunity to experience God’s grace and mercy. We can also be thankful for our family, friends, health, daily provision, and the countless ways God continues to guide and protect us. A grateful heart brings peace, joy, and hope, even in difficult times. Let us begin this day with thanksgiving, giving all the glory, honor, and praise to God for His endless love and abundant blessings.

In Everything Give Thanks

Jeff & Sheri Easter, Charlotte Ritchie

In everything give thanks, with all your heart give praise
For the Lord we serve will never let you down.
In everything give thanks, with all your heart believe
That the Lord can take a circumstance
And turn it all around.

When you want sunshine to brighten up your day,
But you find the clouds rain on your parade;
Don’t forget somewhere someone you may not know
Is thanking God for a rain to make the crops grow.

When troubles trouble you and you think life’s not fair
When you need someone and there’s no one there;
Remember all the times that you feel alone are the
Times He’ll use to make you strong.

The Sweetest Song I Know Lyrics

Bill & Gloria Gaither

I’ve Heard Them Sing “He Paid The Price”
And “Jesus Bore It All”
I’ve Heard Them Sing “I’m Coming Home”
And “Hear The Master’s Call”
I’ve Heard Them Sing The Modern Songs
And Songs Of Long Ago
But “Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”
Is The Sweetest Song I Know


Amazing Grace (Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound)
How Sweet The Sound (Oh How Sweet Is The Sound)
No Sweeter Song (Sweeter Song, Sweeter Song)
Could E’er Be Found (In This Life Could Be Found)
I’ve Heard Of A Fountain (Heard Of The Dear Savior’s Blood)
Filled With Blood (That Washed Us White, White As Snow)
But “Amazing Grace” (“Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”)
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

It Was The Song My Momma Sang
In Sweet And Humble Voice
Like Music From The World Above
It Made My Soul Rejoice
Its Soothing Words And Melody
Like Rippling Waters Flow
Oh, “Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

Amazing Grace (Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound)
How Sweet The Sound (Oh How Sweet Is The Sound)
No Sweeter Song (Sweeter Song, Sweeter Song)
Could E’er Be Found (In This Life Could Be Found)
I’ve Heard Of A Fountain (Heard Of The Dear Savior’s Blood)
Filled With Blood (That Washed Us White, White As Snow)
But “Amazing Grace” (“Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”)
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

Amazing Grace (Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound)
How Sweet The Sound (Oh How Sweet Is The Sound)
No Sweeter Song (Sweeter Song, Sweeter Song)
Could E’er Be Found (In This Life Could Be Found)
I’ve Heard Of A Fountain (Heard Of The Dear Savior’s Blood)
Filled With Blood (That Washed Us White, White As Snow)
But “Amazing Grace” (“Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”)
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

It Was The Song My Momma Sang
In Sweet And Humble Voice
Like Music From The World Above
It Made My Soul Rejoice
Its Soothing Words And Melody
Like Rippling Waters Flow
Oh, “Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

Amazing Grace (Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound)
How Sweet The Sound (Oh How Sweet Is The Sound)
No Sweeter Song (Sweeter Song, Sweeter Song)
Could E’er Be Found (In This Life Could Be Found)
I’ve Heard Of A Fountain (Heard Of The Dear Savior’s Blood)
Filled With Blood (That Washed Us White, White As Snow)
But “Amazing Grace” (“Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound”)
Is The Sweetest Song I Know

Amazing Grace (Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound)
How Sweet The Sound (Oh How Sweet Is The Sound)
No Sweeter Song (Sweeter Song, Sweeter Song)
Could E’er Be Found (In This Life Could Be Found)
I’ve Heard Of A Fountain (Heard Of The Dear Savior’s Blood)
