Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Be grateful
Be grateful
God has not promised me sunshine
That's not the way it's going to be
But a little rain (Rain)
Mixed with God's sunshine
A little pain (Pain)
Makes me appreciate the good times
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
God desires to fill 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't appreciate the good times
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Oh, be grateful (Be grateful)
Grateful
Be grateful (Be grateful)
'Cause there's someone else who's worse off than you
Be grateful (Be grateful)
'Cause there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes
Be grateful (Be grateful)
He said in His Word that He would never forsake you
Be grateful (Be grateful)
God said in His Word that He would never leave you
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Oh, be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Be grateful for what you got (For what you got)
And everything you're not (For what you're not)
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Grateful for everything that you got (For what you got)
And everything that you're not (For what you're not)
So grateful (Be grateful)
Gotta be grateful (Be grateful)
For everything you got (For what you got)
Grateful (Be grateful)
You gotta be grateful (For what you got)
For what you got, oh yeah (Be grateful)
Oh, yeah (Be grateful)
For it will be alright
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Even in the bad times, the good times too
Be grateful (Be grateful)
God said in His Word that He'll never leave you
Be grateful (Be grateful)
Even though I don't have everything I want in life, Lord
I'm grateful (Be grateful)
Hey, be grateful (Be grateful)
Oh yeah, be grateful (Be grateful)
Hey, be grateful (Be grateful)
It will be alright
