When I feel blue and haven’t a clue
How to get through
We’ve got
Recession depression inflation deflation
And more
But I’m so grateful
To know that Jesus is the Lord
When I feel black life seems off-track
We’re under attack
We’ve got
Oppression possession aggression suppression
And more
But I’m so grateful to know
That Jesus is the Lord
When I feel green with all that I’ve seen
And life seems so lean
They’ve got
Progression concession succession possessions
And more
But I’m so grateful to know
That Jesus is the Lord
I’m in the pink though life’s on the brink
Here’s what I think
He’s made me
Cheerful and joyful and thankful and prayerful
And more
He’s made me
Peaceful and useful and faithful and fruitful
And more
And I’m so grateful to know
That Jesus is the Lord
