Gratitude Chords by Nichole Nordeman

[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Send some rain, [Em] would you send some rain?
[C] Cause the earth is dry and [Em] needs to drink again
[F] And the sun is high and [C] we are sinking [Dm] in the shade
[G] Would _ [C] you send a cloud, [Em] thunder long and loud?
[C] Let the sky grow black [Em] and send some mercy [F] down
Surely you can see that we [C] are thirsty [Dm] and afraid
[G] _ _ [E]
[Am] But maybe _ [F] _ today, _ [Dm]
maybe [E] you'll [Am] provide in other ways
[F] And [G] if that's the case, _ [C] we'll give thanks to you
[G] With gratitude [A] for [Dm] lessons learned and [G] how to thirst [C] for you
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
[Dm] If you'll [C] never send us rain
_ Daily [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
bread, [G] give us daily [A] bread
[Dm] Bless our bodies, [G] keep our children fed
[F] Fill our cups, then [Em] fill them up _ [Dm] again tonight
[G] _ _ _
[C] Wrap us [G] up and warm us through
[A]
[Dm] Tucked away [Am] [C] beneath our sturdy [F] roofs
Let us slumber, [C] safe from danger, [Dm] with you this time
[G] _
_ [G#] [Am] Or maybe _ [F] not today
[Dm] Maybe [E] you'll [D] provide [Am] in other ways
And [G] if that's the case, _ _ [C] we'll give thanks to you
With [F] gratitude, a lesson learned to [C] hunger after you
[F] That a starry sky [C] offers a better [Dm] view
If no [E] roof is [Am] over our head
[F] And if we [G] never taste [C] that bread
With _
[Am] _ _ _ [E] all the differences [Am] that [D] often are between
_ [Dm] _ _ _
[Em] Everything we [F] want and what we really _ need
[C] So grant us peace, [Em] Jesus, [G] grant us [C] peace
[Dm] Move our hearts to [G] hear a single beat
[F] Between [C] alibis and [Dm] enemies Tonight
[C] [G] Or _ [E] _ [Am]
maybe _ [F] not today
[Dm] Peace might [E] be [Am] another world away
[F] And [G] if that's the case, _ [D] we'll give thanks to you
With gratitude [Bm] for lessons learned [D] and how to trust in you
That [G] we are blessed beyond what [D] we could ever [Em] dream
In [F#] abundance [Bm] or in need
[Em] And if [F#] you [A#] never grant [Bm] us peace
[G] But [D] Jesus, would you _ _ be?
[A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
