Lyrics:
We grown ups know the grace that fills our days
But little Jodi’s only six, and sees life her own way.
Today we saw a baby girl  at the mall.
"Mommy, why's her face that way?" Jodi quietly called.

I whispered, "Sweetie, every life's unique
We’re all blessed in different ways you cannot always see."

Be grateful, honey, for every single day.
Each breath's a gift that life can take away.
We're all the same beneath this endless sky.
There but for the grace of God go you and I.

At the doctor's office, waiting our turn.
A family near us softly spoke and cried.
Jodi asked, "Why are they crying, mama, please?
Is their daddy sick? What's wrong, what could it be?"

I said, "We never know what tomorrow brings.
Each moment that we have is like a gift.

Be grateful, honey, for every single day
Each breath's a gift that life can take away
We're all the same beneath this endless sky
There but for the grace of God go you and I

Grandpa plays Santa every Christmas Eve.
He gives each child a gift underneath the tree
But holding Jodi’s present, he stopped and blinked
She asked me,"Why don’t Papaw remember me?"

I said, "Sometimes when we’re older our memories slip away.
Papaw will always love you, even if he can’t say."

Be grateful, honey, for every single day
Each breath's a gift that life can take away
We're all the same beneath this endless sky
There but for the grace of God go you and I
