"These Are The Days" is an uptempo tune about being grateful for the days you're living in. When we're living in the answers to our prayers and our dreams fulfilled, sometimes we forget to enjoy the season and be grateful for God's goodness and kindness toward us. This song reminds us not to overlook or rush past the moment, but to live with an attitude of joy and gratitude for the good things God has filled our lives with--especially things we may have prayed and hoped for over weeks, months, or years.
We get to follow the example of King of David in Psalm 103 and praise God for all He's done for us! What answered prayers are you walking in right now? What dreams fulfilled are you experiencing? What good things has God filled your life with? Take a moment to remember when they were just hopes, prayers, dreams, and maybe even days you weren't sure you'd ever see. And then take a moment to recognize that they are now your reality. Be grateful to God for the days you're living in, and maybe let out a little joyful praise today.
"Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me...He fills my life with good things..." (Psalm 103:1-5)
Lyrics
People out there, people out there
Let go of your cares
Turn your cries into loud hallelujahs
This is what we came for, oh yeah
Leave all your worries behind
We know the future's burnin' bright
This is the great jubilation
This is what He came for, what He came for
Oh, these are the days, these are the days
These are the days we been dreamin' of
So don't look away 'causе these are thе days
These are the days, better get 'em while they come
We thought we'd never seen the sun through the dark skies (Oh, through the dark skies)
But all the signs are sayin' it's lookin' up (Oh)
But these are the days, these are the days
These are the days we been dreamin' of, oh
