Jason expresses, that even though many times we are not able to change our circumstances, but what we can do is to nurture a grateful heart.
One day, Jason was watching his children playing and laughing, and he became aware that he enjoys to see them being happy. He thought that maybe it works the same way with our heavenly father-that he also enjoys our enjoyment, it brings him joy.
Jason expressed that our enjoyment of the good things that we are grateful for, can become a meaningful act of worship. So, it's good to be alive!
Part of the song lyrics:
Hold onIf the life that we've been givenIs made beautiful in the livingAnd the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giverThen right here, right nowThis is the song I'm singing out
I wanna live like there's no tomorrowLove like I'm on borrowed timeIt's good to be alive
