    Behind The Song: VERSES Shares The Heart Behind Their Debut Single “Thankful”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 11 May, 2021 | 2

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from VERSES. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their debut single “Thankful.”

    “It was the end of 2019 and we’d been on tour the entire year. We were trying to write new songs and had no idea how exhausted we were. No matter what I did, nothing was coming together. Jess came in and told me her family was going on vacation and wanted us to go with them. She was right, we needed a break. Then, while we were driving there, I started singing this melody into my phone. It dropped out of the sky, this overwhelming sense of thankfulness. Three days later we had the song written.” –Luke O’Dea (VERSES)

    As we kept working on it [the song], we got more and more excited as the lyrics came out. Cause this song in the end is just the story of the goodness & faithfulness of God and who He has been to us in our lives over the last few years. – Joel O’Dea (VERSES)

    “Thankful” Lyrics

    I woke up got a new day
    Feel good ‘cause I know I’m going Your way
    Straight up singing Your praise
    Got real joy even on a Monday
    I broke up with my old ways
    And I want all the world to know that

    I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    Oh I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    I’m thankful
    Yes I’m thankful
    I gotta say I’m thankful
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    I’m thankful
    Yes I’m thankful
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again

    I found out it’s better Your way
    You love me even on my down days
    I won’t stop singing Your praise
    And I want all the world to know that
    This is the day that the Lord has made
    Sing it again it’s an old refrain
    This is the day that the Lord has made
    I’m changed and I’ll tell ya

    I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    Oh I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    I’m thankful
    Yes I’m thankful
    Yeah I gotta say I’m thankful
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    I’m thankful
    Yes I’m thankful
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again

    When you’re thankful everything just seems a little brighter
    Deeper than the dopamine my heart is catching fire
    Lifting up inside ya feel a little lighter
    Singing with the choir

    He will not be shaken (strong He’ll stand)
    When I’m worried I am praying (yes I am)
    Can we lift our voice and say it (yes we can)
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    I’m thankful
    Yes I’m thankful
    I’ve gotta say I’m thankful
    Cause You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    Yes I’m thankful
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again

    I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again
    Oh I’m thankful I’m thankful
    Yes I am
    You’ve been so good that I’ll say it again

    This is the day that the Lord has made (and I’m thankful)
    Sing it again it’s an old refrain (and I’m thankful)
    This is the day that the Lord has made
    I’m changed and I’ll tell ya I’m thankful
