Kurt Carr and The Kurt Carr Singers - Be Grateful Lyrics

[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 mixed with God's sunshine,
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;
But He can't afford to let you feel only good,
(then you can't appreciate the good times).

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes).

[Vamp:]
Be grateful, be grateful.
[repeat as desired]

For it will be alright...

[Vamp 2:]
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright

[Ending:]
For it will be al...
Be grateful.
