[Intro]
C  Em/B  Am  G
[Verse 1]
CSend some rain, would You Em/Bsend some rain?
'Cause the Amearth is dry and needs to C/Edrink again
And the Fsun is high and we are C/Esinking in the DmshadeG  
Would You Csend a cloud, thunder Em/Blong and loud?
Let the Amsky grow black and send some C/Emercy down
Surely FYou can see that we are C/Ethirsty and afDmraidG  
But Ammaybe not, Fnot today
DmMaybe You'll provide in Amother ways
And if Gthat's the case ...
[Chorus 1]
We'll give Cthanks to You with Ggratitude
For Amlessons learned in how to C/Ethirst for You
How to Fbless the very sun that C/Ewarms our face
If You Fnever send us rain
C  Em/B  Am  G
[Verse 2]
CDaily bread, give us Em/Bdaily bread
AmBless our bodies, keep our C/Echildren fed
FFill our cups, then fill them C/Eup again toDmnightG  
CWrap us up and Em/Bwarm us through
AmTucked away beneath our C/Esturdy roofs
FLet us slumber safe from C/Edanger's view this DmtimeG  
Or Ammaybe not, Fnot today
DmMaybe You'll provide in Amother ways
And if Gthat's the case ...
[Chorus 2]
We'll give Cthanks to You with Ggratitude
A Amlesson learned to hunger after You
That a Fstarry sky offers a C/Ebetter view
If no Froof is GoverAmhead
And if we Fnever taste that breadC
