Nichole Nordeman - Gratitude Lyrics






Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case...

We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain

Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case...

We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view
If no roof is overhead
And if we never taste that bread

Oh, the differences that often are between
Everything we want and what we really need

So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case...

We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace...

But, Jesus, would You please...

    Possibly one of the most beautiful song of praise ever! My daughter sang this one night before the evenings sermon. The Pastor said "Well...how am I to preach after hearing that?" He went straight to the invitation and several people gave their hearts and lives to Christ that night. May times these songs are written with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and He will use them to point us toward Christ. Sometimes these are the sermons themselves. On that night, God used one of His 14 year old, 85 pound servants to deliver His word!!! How awesome is He!!!! 

  23. J.... G....

    This song was played in my church service a few weeks back as a contemplation after the sermon. The words really spoke to me as I've recently been struggling with ill health and ended up in hospital a few times.  I keep reminding myself how much god has given me and though he may not take away the physical pain how his spirit sits with me bringing comfort through grace. Part of me is scared to ask for healing in case the prayer remains unanswered and i don't expect a miracle but whatever he provides this song reminds me to be grateful in the good times, the bad times and everything in between.

    J.... G....

    I cried reading your story...

    J.... G....

    Beautiful. This song always brings tears to my eyes. God is good.

  27. S.... L....

    Gratitude works like Magic. It instantly changes from Negative to Positive Mindset and It also brings more of what we dwell on.

    Just FYI, I am using an iPhone app called "Thanks A Lot" by Lokesh Hanumappa.

    This is really cool app, because I can express my Gratitude across all the key areas of my life like Physical, Mental, Emotional, Financial, Relationships, Professional and Spiritual.It reminds me? at a set? time and I can share my blessings to my friends and family too.

    Thanks A Lot For U

  28. k.... ....

    I dunno why i feel sad when listening to this

  29. t.... ....

    Thumb up!

    2 peeps obviously have no fuckin' gratitude!

  30. m.... b....

    Just got to hear Gracia Burnham the other day. She shared this song. She said that while her and Martin with in the jungle with the Abou Sayiff terrorists, they prayed these things and when she was rescued, her friend gave her the words to this song. So appropriate. It is so humbling to know that even in the worst of times we can still praise YHVH for His provision. Whatever it is......HalleluYAH!

  31. E.... N....

    Love this!

    I love Jesus!! He heals us <3 Give thanks to him!
