Lyrics

God has not promised me sunshine That's not the way it's supposed 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 feel your longings Every pain that you feel, He feels them Just like you, but He can't afford to make you feel only good Then you can't appreciate the good times Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful Because there's someone else who's worser than you, be grateful Because there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes Be grateful, God said it would never, never forsake you Be grateful
