Guitar chords with lyrics

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
