Be Grateful

Intro:
Ooh, grateful
Ooh, grateful
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 (a little rain)
mixed with God's own sunshine,
a little pain (a little pain),
makes me appreciate the good times.
Chorus
Verse 2:
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),
if you can't appreciate the good times.
Chorus
Vamp:
Be grateful.
Ending:
For it will be alright.
