Difficulty: Novice

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

(Chorus)

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

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

(Chorus)

      C majorC
We'll give thanks to You
   C majorC
With gratitude
     FF         C majorC
A augmentedA lesson learned to hunger after You
    C majorC          FF
That a starry sky offers a better view
   FF    A minorAm
if no roof is overhead
     FF   DmDm  G+G  C majorC
And if we never taste that bread

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

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

(Chorus)

      C majorC
We'll give thanks to You
   C majorC
With gratitude
  FF             C majorC
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
      C majorC              FF
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
  FF        A minorAm
In abundance or in need
      FF       A minorAm
And if You never grant us peace
   FF   DmDm  G+G  C majorC
