Walter Hawkins - Be Grateful Lyrics

[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.
