Why Complain? Just Be Thankful For The Good Things That You’ve Got Lyrics

Verse 1
Why complain about your clothes and your shoes,
Why complain about your teacher and her rules,
Why complain when so many have no home,
Why complain when you have one of your own?

CHORUS
Just be thankful for the good things that you’ve got,
Oh be thankful for the good things that you’ve got,
The good things that ya got are for many just a dream,
So be thankful for the good things that you’ve got.

Verse 2
Why complain about the way that you look?
Why complain about the scolding that you took?
Why complain when so many cannot run?
Why complain when you’re having so much fun?

Notes

The hymn Why Complain? Just Be Thankful for the Good Things That You’ve Got is a reminder to cultivate gratitude and avoid a spirit of discontent. For a Christian, it emphasizes the biblical principle found in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

The verses highlight common frustrations—material possessions, rules, personal appearance, or discipline—but contrast them with the reality that many people have far less. The message is simple yet profound: rather than focusing on what we lack, we should appreciate the blessings we already have.

The chorus reinforces this by stating that what we take for granted might be just a dream for others. It encourages believers to shift their perspective, recognize God’s goodness, and live with a heart full of gratitude.

Ultimately, this hymn teaches Christians that a thankful heart brings contentment, joy, and a deeper trust in God’s provision.
