[Verse 1:]
Sometimes it rains in the midst of your parade,
and the hard times come, after you've had a great day.
For with every test, there's a time and a season,
and with every trial there is a reason.
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes you're hurting, there's a pain deep within,
seems like the more you pray, that thing just won't ever end.
Just have patience in all things, when you're weak say I'm strong,
for this is a part of life's journey, keep the faith and press on.
[Chorus 1:]
In everything give thanks,
lift your hands and give thanks,
for everything's working out for your good,
even when things don't look like they should.
In everything give thanks,
lift your hands and give (thanks, for this is the will of God),
concerning those (concerning those who believe).
[Verse 3:]
Sometimes its hard and your way seems dim,
just keep on pressing on, put your trust in Him.
Learn to lay aside every weight that's so easily beset you,
for in due time, He'll come forth, for He is gonna bless you.
[Chorus 2:]
In everything give thanks,
lift your hands and give thanks,
for everything's working out for your good,
even when things don't look like they should.
In everything give thanks,
lift your hands and give (thanks)...
[Vamp 1:]
He's good, He's kind.
[Vamp 2:]
Give thanks, give thanks.
[Vamp 3:]
Lay aside every weight
that so easily hinders me,
give thanks.
[Vamp 4:]
Thank ya, thank ya,
thank ya, thank ya,
give Him thanks.
