Thankful - Daddy Daughter Duet - Mat and Savanna Shaw

[@MatandSavanna]

We are so grateful you all like this song! We put it on our Christmas album for those that have asked about buying the song. Here is the link: matandsavanna.link/Merry-Little-Christmas-Album

[@videoOkay28]

may i ask, is this a religious song? what is the purpose of composing this song? is this song really considered as Religious and can be sung in church?

[@staceysmith1265]

Mat, I remember being amazed by you as a sparkly eyed three year old who knew all the words to "I am a Child of God" and could sing it with perfect pitch. I was the Primary chorister at the time and first heard you in Nursery. Now...what...over 40 years later, my husband found you on KZbin. What a fun blessing! Your talent is rare, your voice absolutely beautiful and it is sweet to see that passing on to the next generation through your daughter! Thank you both for taking your precious time and resources to share your gifts with us!

[@adrigarstman5229]

In a troubled America right now, this song should be our motto...it should be played morning, noon and night round the clock. If we could only stop and actually listen to each other ....to compromise with each other...to stop the angry rhetoric...it really is up to us to be the change...to be the change for now....for our future. We do have so much to thankful for...and yes, we each must find our own truth but we also must understand that we are not the sole proprietors of that TRUTH....to find each other's light. So hoping that America listens to the lyrics to this song.
