“That’s More Than I Can Say” is part of the Rising Through series, exploring what it means to keep going when strength runs thin.
This piece reflects a kind of gratitude that goes beyond what can be named. Not just for what’s visible, but for what sustains us underneath it. Breath that keeps returning. Strength that shows up when it’s needed. A quiet mercy that keeps making a way.
It builds from stillness into lift, tracing that shift from reflection to something deeper. At a certain point, words fall short, and what remains is simply felt.

Lyrics
That’s More Than I Can Say
Thank you Lord
That’s all I can say
Some things rise up
And words give way
Not for my roof
Or the food on my plate
Though I forget
How much those things weigh
Not for the sky
Though it breaks me wide
Not for the trees
Or the turning tide
It’s for the breath
That keeps finding me
The strength to stand
When I feel weak
Thank you Lord
That’s all I can say
Some kind of mercy
Keeps making a way
Strong enough
To pull me through
Joy keeps rising
Because of You
