Nichole Nordeman - Gratitude chords

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

(Chorus)

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

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

(Chorus)

           C
We'll give thanks to You
     C
With gratitude 
         F                 C
A lesson learned to hunger after You
       C                   F                 
That a starry sky offers a better view 
      F        Am  
if no roof is overhead 
          F     Dm    G    C 
And if we never taste that bread

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

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

(Chorus)

           C            
We'll give thanks to You
     C
With gratitude
    F                         C
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
            C                            F
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
   F               Am 
In abundance or in need
           F              Am
And if You never grant us peace
     F      Dm   G    C
But Jesus, would You please . . .
