about

Gratitude is useful because it quite literally changes the bio-chemistry of the body for the better.

When you are in an attitude of gratitude you are focusing your mind on what is right, what is good, what is positive, as well as how blessed, prosperous and loved you are.

The other choice is to focus on lack, deprivation, hard luck, and how lonely you might be. Personally I prefer to feel good.

The more I focus on how blessed I am the more blessed I seem to be... funny how that works huh?

lyrics

I Am Grateful

Song # 459 11/15/2012 | CD: Home Across The Sea

I am grateful for the people who challenge me to grow
And for all the friends who I may not yet know
I am grateful for the lessons that I thought were mistakes
That looking back were really very lucky breaks

Refrain:
I am grateful. I am grateful. I am grateful for You
I am grateful. I am grateful. I am grateful for You

I am grateful for the food upon my table
and the water that enables me to stay strong and able
I am grateful for the people who wrote the books I read
That helped me through my days and nourished me like bread

Refrain:

I am grateful for these times, which may not be the best
But they surely aren’t the worst and I look forward to the rest
I am grateful for the air which we all must share
And gravity as well, even all the times I fell

Refrain:

I am grateful for the love I feel within this place
And the hope that I still have for the human race
I’m grateful for the days that I may still have to grace
My beloved Mother Earth with the sun upon my face

Refrain:

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
