I Smile Chords by Kirk Franklin

_ _ _ [G#] I [D#] dedicate this song to [G#] recession, depression, and unemployment.
_ This song is for you.
[C#] Today's a new day, _ [G] but there is no [D#] sunshine.
[F#] Nothing but clouds and it's [A#m] dark in my heart and it [F#m] feels like a cold night.
[C#] Today's a new day, [D#] but where are my blue skies?
[F#] Where is the love and the [A#m] joy that you promised me?
[B] Tell me it's [C#] alright.
I'll be honest [F#] with you.
I almost gave up a [Cm] power that I [A] can't explain.
[A#] Fell from [Cm] heaven like a [D#] shower now.
When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is [C#] over.
I smile, even though I hurt, see I smile.
I [F]
know God [F#] is perfect so I smile.
[A#m] Even though I've been here for a while.
I smile, [C#] it's so hard to look up when you've been down.
[D#m] Showing hate to see you give [C#] up now.
You look so [F#m] much better when you smile, so [G#] smile. _ _ _ _ _ _
