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