Chorus: Be grateful. Be grateful. Verse 1: God has not promised me sunshine, that's not the way it's going to be; but a little rain mixed with God's sunshine, a little pain makes me appreciate the good times. Chorus Verse 2: God desires to fill your longings, every pain that you feel, He feels them, just like you; but He can't afford to let you feel only good, (then you can't appreciate the good times).
