Nichole Nordeman - Gratitude Lyrics
Send some rain, would You send some rain?'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink againAnd the sun is high and we are sinking in the shadeWould You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?Let the sky grow black and send some mercy downSurely You can see that we are thirsty and afraidBut maybe not, not todayMaybe You'll provide in other waysAnd if that's the case ...We'll give thanks to You with gratitudeFor lessons learned in how to thirst for YouHow to bless the very sun that warms our faceIf You never send us rainDaily bread, give us daily breadBless our bodies, keep our children fedFill our cups, then fill them up again tonightWrap us up and warm us throughTucked away beneath our sturdy roofsLet us slumber safe from danger's view this timeOr maybe not, not todayMaybe You'll provide in other waysAnd if that's the case ...We'll give thanks to You with gratitudeA lesson learned to hunger after YouThat a starry sky offers a better viewIf no roof is overheadAnd if we never taste that breadOh, the differences that often are betweenEverything we want and what we really needSo grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peaceMove our hearts to hear a single beatBetween alibis and enemies tonightOr maybe not, not todayPeace might be another world awayAnd if that's the case ...We'll give thanks to You with gratitudeFor lessons learned in how to trust in YouThat we are blessd beyond what we could ever dreamIn abundance or in needAnd if You never grant us peace ...But, Jesus, would You please ...
