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