Chorus:
Be grateful
Be grateful
Verse 1:
God has not promised me sunshine,
That's not the way it's going to be;
But a little rain mixed with God's sunshine,
A little pain makes me appreciate the good times.
Chorus:
Be grateful
Be grateful
Verse 2:
God desires to fill your longings,
Every pain that you feel,
He feels them, just like you;
But He can't afford to let you feel only good,
(then you can't appreciate the good times)
Chorus:
Be grateful
Be grateful
Bridge:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes)
Vamp:
Be grateful, be grateful.
[repeat as desired]
For it will be alright…
Vamp 2:
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright
Ending:
For it will be al…
Be grateful.
