GRATITUDE

This song has meant so much to me over the past couple of years, I just want to share the words with you.


Send some rain, would you send some rain
'cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
and the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would you send a cloud, thunder long and loud
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely you can see we're thirsty and afraid

But maybe not, not today, maybe you'll provide in other ways
and if that's the case..

We'll give thanks to you, with gratitude
for lessons learned in how to thirst for you
How to bless the very sun that warms our face if you never send us rain.

Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again, tonight
Oh wrap us up, and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roof
Let us slumber safe from danger with you this time

or maybe not, not today
maybe you'll provide in other ways, and if that's the case...

We'll give thanks to you, with gratitude, a lesson learned to hunger after you
That a starry sky offers a better view if no roof is over our heads
and if we never taste that bread

Oh the differences that often are between
everything we want and what we really need

So grant us peace, Jesus grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between our allies and enemies tonight

But maybe not, not today, peace might be another world away
and if that's the case...

We'll give thanks to you with gratitude
For lessons learned on how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond all we could ever dream in abundance or in need if you never grant us peace

But Jesus, would you please...






We are to praise our Lord, NO MATTER WHAT.
