Gratitude by Nichole Nordeman
Gratitude
C C
Send some rain, would You send some rain?
F C
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
F C Dm G
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
C C
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
F C
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
C F Dm G
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
Am F
But maybe not, not today
Dm Am
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
F G
And if that's the case . . .
(Chorus)
C
We'll give thanks to You
C
With gratitude
F C
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
C F
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
F Dm G C
If You never send us rain
C C
Daily bread, give us daily bread
F C
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
F C Dm G
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
C C
Wrap us up and warm us through
F C
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
C F Dm G
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Am F
Or maybe not, not today
Dm Am
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
F G
And if that's the case . . .
(Chorus)
C
We'll give thanks to You
C
With gratitude
F C
A lesson learned to hunger after You
C F
That a starry sky offers a better view
F Am
if no roof is overhead
F Dm G C
And if we never taste that bread
Am F
Oh, the differences that often are between
Am F
Everything we want and what we really need
C C
So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
F C
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
C F Dm G
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Am F
Or maybe not, not today
Dm Am
Peace might be another world away
F G
And if that's the case . . .
(Chorus)
C
We'll give thanks to You
C
With gratitude
F C
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
C F
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
F Am
In abundance or in need
F Am
And if You never grant us peace
F Dm G C
But Jesus, would You please . . .
