Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Be grateful
Be grateful
God has not promised me sunshine
That's not the way it's going to be
But a little rain (A little rain)
Mixed with God's sunshine
A little pain (A little pain)
Makes me appreciate the good times
[Verse 2]
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
God desires to feel your longings
Every pain that you feel
He feels them just like you (Just like you)
But He can't afford to let you feel only good (Only good)
Then you can appreciate the good times
[Verse 3]
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Because there's someone else who's worse off than you
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Because there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Lord God, save us
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
[Verse 4]
For it will be alright
[Verse 5]
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Even through the hard times, the good times too
Be grateful (Be grateful)
God said in His word that He lived and died
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
[Verse 6]
Be grateful (Be grateful)
He wants us to be grateful (For it)
For it, everything will be alright
