Atlanta Centennial Ma** Choir - Be Grateful lyrics

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 makes me appreciate the good times Be grateful Be grateful 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 Be grateful Be grateful Be grateful Because there's someone else that's worse off than you Be grateful Because there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes Be grateful Be grateful Be grateful Be grateful God said He'd never leave you nor will He forsake you Be grateful Be grateful Be grateful for hope and strife Be grateful Be grateful Be grateful For it will be alright
