Be Grateful
Be grateful
Be grateful
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(a grateful place)
Makes me appreciate the good times
Be grateful(2x's)
God desires to feel your longings
Every pain that you feel, he feels them
Just like you
But he can't afford to let you feel only good (only good)
Then you can appreciate the good time
Be grateful(2x's)
Cause there's someone else who's worse off than you
Be grateful
Cause that someone else who'd love to be in your shoes
Be grateful
He said in his word that he will never forsake you
Be grateful
Can't say you this word that he will never leave you
Be grateful, Be grateful
Be grateful, hey yeah
Be grateful, be great
Ul
For everything that you have
So be grateful
For everything you are
Grateful
You gotta be grateful
For it will be alright
