Be Grateful

by Atlanta Centennial Mass Choir

on A Gospel Celebration (1996)

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
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
