Hi there,

BE GRATEFUL
(Hawkins)
Walter Hawkins & The Love Center Choir - 1978

(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful)
(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful)
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 sunshine
A little pain (A little pain)
Makes me appreciate thegood times

(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful) Grateful
(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful) Grateful
God desires to feel your longing
Every pain that you feel
He feels them just like you (Just like you)
But he had to die to make you feel only good (Only good)
Then you can appreciate the good times

(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful) Grateful
(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful) Be Grateful
Because there's someone else who's worse off than you
Be Grateful (Be Grateful)
Because there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes
Be Grateful ( Be Grateful)
Lord God save us
Be Grateful (Be Grateful
Be Grateful (Be Grateful) (*repeated several times)

For giving me your light

Be Grateful (Be Grateful)
Even through the hard times, the good times too
Be Grateful (Be Grateful)
God said in his words that he lived and died
Be Grateful (Be Grateful)
Be Grateful (Be Grateful) (*repeated several times)

(Be-e-e-e-e-e Grateful)
He wants us to be grateful
For giving me your light
