This is a “new thought gospel song” that fits perfectly into the Unity, Centers For Spiritual Living, New Thought movement.
Personally I prefer to call it , the “Spiritual but not Religious” Movement.
There is no heavy “god tawk” so no matter what faith you profess you can relate.
It is simple enough to accommodate additional verses that might apply to specific events, themes, or time of year. What we call in the Kid Music biz a “Zipper” song.
When you allow the repeated line, “I am grateful just to be alive today” to sink deeply into your unconscious mind, it changes “reality” in a lovely way. Enjoy!
Presented here in it’s “brand new” video demo form, please note this song has gone on to “settle in” to a very different version which Joe Mennonna so brilliantly arranged and produced that he essentially has become my songwriting partner. If there’s no link here to the studio recording please use the search bar to see if it’s released yet.
Honest Rock
Song # 499 | 3/30/15 | CD: TBD
I have been healed
On this honest rock (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
I have been broken
and I have been blessed oh yes! (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
I have been walking
In the valley of the shadows (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
I have been raised up
from all my “failures” (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
I have been healed
On this honest rock (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
Yes, I been healed
Watch this cripple walk (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
I have been blessed
With an honest love (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
Bridge:
If you chanced to glance
Upon the face of God
Why would you ever look away?
I am a spark
In the vastness of eternity(3x)
And I am grateful just to be alive today.
I have been healed
On this honest rock (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today…
Optional:
I have been wandering
Alone in the desert (3x)
I am grateful just to be alive today.
