'Thankful, Grateful, and Blessed,' one of them said. It had been a while since Richard had written a song, and when he saw that bumper sticker he thought: 'Okay, Lord, I get it!'. He returned home and sat down at the kitchen table to write the song. Richard's wife shares, 'When Richard came home and told me that he was inspired by a bumper sticker that he saw, I thought, 'Oh no, he saw 'Let’s Go Brandon''! But that wasn’t it, and now he has a wonderful inspiring song.'

The chorus of the song repeats the lines, 'Oh Lord, I'm thankful, I'm grateful, and I'm blessed' several times, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the good in our lives.
