Kurt Carr - Be Grateful

Lyrics:
Be Grateful
(written by Walter Hawkins)
(recorded by Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers)


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).

Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, because there's someone worse off than you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh.
(Be grateful, there's someone else who'd love to be in your shoes).

Vamp:
Be grateful, be grateful.
(repeat as desired)

for it will be alright...

Vamp 2:
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Alright, alright, alright

Ending:
For it will be al...
be grateful.

I might be the only one that like this cover. They was getting down on the 1 lol

[RockLovely50]

i like this "cover" but my favorite is Kim Burrell's :)

[GroovKing]

I'm conflicted...I love the song..not this version... He changed too much, the soloist are doing too much, the phrasing is broken which takes away from the intensity of the message which is already powerful...

[theresap65]

[nightgrooveruk]
