Kurt Carr - Be Grateful Lyrics






[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.

    One Sunday night back in the day I stopped into the radio broadcast on Washington Ave. in Los Angeles,CA as we did back in the day...The church choir singing "Be Grateful" wore this song out!  The Voices of Cornerstone featuring Charlotte Penny Jones put this song to rest. As that evening was not recorded, but their rendition has been the best ever other than the original as recorded by Pastor Walter Hawkins and the Love Center Choir led by Lynette Hawkins Stephens, that I have ever heard.  For those who were not there, you missed it.  For those who were there it will never be forgotten. This version is...too much and the message is getting lost in the delivery.  I'm just sayin...

  21. E.... Y....

    This arrangement is just too cold!!! Love it!!

  22. p.... r....

    I AM FOR EVER GREATFUL; THANK YOU LORD

  23. E.... C....

    BEAUTIFUL REMAKE OF BE GRATEFUL,LOVE THIS SONG..KURT YOU DID THAT...

  24. R.... E....

    im still convinced that this is THEE best version

  25. T.... ....

    Nice new approach in the arrangement...with a nod to the original and fresh new chord progression and vocalization. Exactly what covers should do. Be grateful, people!

  26. c.... ....

    I absolutely love it! Great start to my morning!!!! The best cover ever!!!

  27. K.... ....

    This verison is during too much

    K.... ....

    It's a just a different style...same message

  28. a.... ....

    How can you dislike this song?

  29. T.... P....

    this is frans sister i have constantly heard this in my heard this in my head during my mess and im grateful that God saw something in me worth saving HALLELUJAH


  30. j.... ....

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

  31. G.... N....

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

  32. M.... S....

    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...

  33. T.... P....

    just sing the song!! don't like all the extras!! :( sorry i'm just saying.

    T.... P....

    I so agree...sometimes the singer becomes too involved in the acrobatics of the song and totally lose the feeling... message ....and the audience.

  34. S.... ....

    @chrispleasantable --This is really wonderful as is the version from John Legend with Jennifer Hudson. Both just splendid ! God Bless

  35. H.... M....

    @Jamaicanchocolate34

  36. H.... M....

    @rachelmm05 i wasn't feeling the Ledisi version... Kim Burrell's version is hot though!!! i like this one as well!!

  37. c.... ....

    This was track 13 from Kurt's 5th album "One Church" and was the 10th song I learned by this great and talented gospel artist with Nakitta and Troy leading it off.

  38. r.... ....

    @Jamaicanchocolate34 actually i've never heard of Ledisi ...sorry that i couldn't give any feed back on this person's song :)

  39. r.... ....

    this is real nice but i still like the old school version that came out in the late 80s by the Hawkins!

  40. K.... ....

    For all the things n life ALWAYS b ,"BEGRATEFUL"!!!!!

  41. c.... ....

    Glorrrry!!!

  42. k.... ....

    well its ok, but i just prefer the original..JUST MY OPINION THO.....leads are blessed with great ranges too!!!

  43. O.... J....

    Nice version of this song. The transition between the slow section and fast section was too quick. I like the groove of the fast section.

  44. m.... ....

    4:51 & 5:03 Just simply AMAZING VOCALS and Annointed. I love the original but this was a great modern take on it.

  45. T.... ....

    THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND THINGS IN EARTH, AND THINGS UNDER THE EARTH. philip:2:10. THANK YOU KING JESUS. AMEN.

  49. S.... ....

    Well CLEARLY you know nothing about MUSIC..because in comparison to the orignal this was pale.

  50. S.... ....

    Which is Why I put THe Hawkins Family in Parenthesis!!!

  51. L.... ....

    Lynette sang it. Not Tramaine. Two totally different voices

  52. O.... E....

    Nakitta is from another planet!
