Lyrics

All my words fall short
I got nothing new
How could I express
All my gratitude?

I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end
And You never do

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

I’ve got one response
I’ve got just one move
With my arm stretched wide
I will worship You

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

So come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord

Oh come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord

Come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord, hey
Praise the Lord (x3)

So I throw up my hands
Praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

Story Behind The Song

Brandon Lake’s Gratitude is a heartfelt expression of worship, capturing the overwhelming thankfulness we feel when words fall short. With simple yet powerful lyrics, the song reminds us that no matter what we face, God’s goodness deserves our praise. It’s a call to surrender—to lift our hands, to sing from the depths of our soul, and to acknowledge that all we have to offer is a grateful heart.

The beauty of Gratitude lies in its raw sincerity. It’s not about perfect prayers or grand gestures; it’s about coming before God with honesty and humility. In moments of joy or struggle, when we don’t know what else to say, this song reminds us that worship is always the right response. Through every season, gratitude shifts our perspective, turning our eyes away from our circumstances and back to the One who is worthy of it all.
