Beautiful delivery! So refreshing to be able to hear someone sing the lyrics of this song without oversinging and over coloring it with excessive runs. Sweet sound to my ears!
[Verse1:] I've had some good days I've had some hills to climb I've had some weary days And some sleepless nights But when I look around And I think things over All of my good days Out-weigh my bad days I won't complain [Verse2:] Sometimes the clouds are low I can hardly see the road I ask a question, Lord Lord, why so much pain? But he knows what's best for me Although my weary eyes They can't see So I'll just say thank you Lord I won't complain [Chorus:] The Lord Has been so good to me He's been good to me More than this old world or you could ever be He's been so good, To me He dried all of my tears away Turned my midnights into day So I'll just say thank you Lord [Adlib:] I've been lied on But thank you Lord I've been talked about But thank you Lord I've been misunderstood But thank you Lord You might be sick Body reeking with pain But thank you Lord The bills are due Don't know where the money coming from But thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord [Chorus:] I want to thank God Has been so good to me He's been good to me More than this old world or you could ever be He's been so good He's been so good He's been so good So good So good So good So good To me He dried all of my tears away Turned my midnight into day [Ending:] So I'll just say thank you Lord I won't complain
Hey Johnny we at El Bethel Temple missed you a lot when you went off to college at 16. But now we are all seeing God has such a great purpose for you life. Do your thing "John Legend". We are proud of you.
He's kills this song!!! Very melodic, beautiful, simplistic, and the thing w/ this song is that people feel the need to scream it rather than to sing it so we can actually here the words... This is awesome
Singing this song 2mrw for a Dear Brother of mine who has past on. John u have just helped me relax into the mood of singing this song for his family & tribute 2 him;-) Thank U & Thank U Lord!!
am blown away by this! My late uncle, Rev. Paul Jones is the creator of the deeply inspirational song and everyone and there mother has been triying to make it thier own since he was murded back in 1990....left this world before he could get the copyrights to it. My grandmother has yet to see a penny of ANY dues from her son's work. Just a shame how people can claim to be Christians and yet find it in their hearts to capitalize off something that the true creator will never get due credit for.
JOhn is so mellow it is a version that you can listen to when you are trying to relax and kick back. The blessing is truly in his voice so pure. No Oprah doesn't discuss God on her show but she doesn't have that type of show and it doesn't mean she's not a Christian. I find those who flaunt it are phony.
The one thing i love about John Legend iz that he never forgets where his roots came from. Some ppl will sit in judgement and say "Well he has the voice for GOSPEL, why wont he sing it" It's all a struggle and it's all a purpose. His talent iz something that iz anointed even if he does sing Green Light or PDA or Ordinary PPL don't look at him for that. Listen to his testimony, all these ppl all in his business but still yet ladies and gentlemen. "John Legend Wont Complain" Amen somebodi!!!
Regardless of religious affiliation, I think everyone should be able to enjoy this song. I wish there were more musicians with the talent john legend has who are able to sing a song like this. So much more meaningful than what a lot of popular artists put out there.
Mr. Legend Mr' Legend, you were made for this world to be blessed by your voice. THis is the best rendition of this song I ever heard. Much luv 4 u. A Fan 4 Life!
Some people have to have find negativity in everything. Instead of people being happy that he sung a gospel song on national television, they are hating. This song touched me and for all we know it could have led someone to Christ who watched it on television. I thought the most important thing was to spread the good news. By the way God sees us how were gonna be. He might change and sing gospel, stop looking at the past and present, and take a look at the future. Instead of criticizing, pray!
Yassss for my singing Idol .... I have heard him sing this soooo many time and i have nvr let this song get to me like it has tonight ... I was juss going in with him!!! I won't complain!
Called and anoited of God. It is ashame he is using His talent in other ways, instead of being sold out to the Lord. God has given him an awesome gift.
i FEEL SOOO BLESSED BY THIS SONG. LOADS OF MEMORIES AND EMOTION WHILE LISTENING TO THIS SONG. I EVEN HAD TEARS WHILE LISTEN. GOG BLESS THE MAN WHO WROTE IT.
My blessings have been many. This song brought me to my knees. I honestly do not know anything about Mr. Legend and I have never seen him before now. The message is pure even if Mr Legend is not.
TOTALLY AWESOME! I hav 2 say, he sings so gracefully & especially the way he doesnt over do it with 2 many runs. So effortless 4 this talent of God, Praise the Lord!! Keep spreading that Love boy...
I love this version. It is beautiful and not forced. It is peaceful and melodious. I am a devout Christian, and a music lover. I will not judge John Legend. That is not our place as followers of Christ. Even the worst sinner should thank God for all that the Lord has done. We have work to do. There's no time to complain or judge, especially with regard to style.
im absolutely speechless..nothing but tears streaming down my face. Because I know the Lord has been by my side since day 1 before I even got to know Him. And this song is my testimony! and i cant help but to praise Him through it all because regardless of what Ive been through I cant and wont complain because I am blessed beyond measure thank you Lord!
That blessed me. I'm happy he knows where his "roots" are. He has such a special gift. When I was finding my voice as a singer, that's when he released his first album. His style has influenced me so much, even as a female vocalist....I would LOVE to see if he did a gospel album in the future.
Anytime I listen to this song, I can't but really remember what God has brought me through. Tears just roll down my eyes. God has been sooooooo gooooood to me.
Thank you! It amazes me how many holier than thou folks find fault and judge someone else's walk! If they were accurately interpreting scripture, they pay attention to their own stuff and stop judging others!
He has gifts to share. This is education that he puts into his songs, his work, what he really feels and knows. He is my favorite, absoutely! His talents arent shame. They are just who is. We cant complain on that. Alot of us just love him. No doubt his family and God wont complain on that either.
What a beautiful inspiring rendition. Thank you. Also, many thanks, as someone pointed out to me to Oprah for cultivating such beautiful responses of the women in the audience. Their response is almost as beautiful as the rendition itself.
theres no doubt that J Legend started in church which like many great singers but he sings this song so effortless, he makes it look 2 easy... AWESOME, trully a gift from GOD!!
Thank you Lord. I won't complain. Even in the recession and all the troubles of the world. I will not Complain. I might discuss it but I will not Complain. What a nice version. It is not oversung and is simply brilliant. Thanks John Legend. And thanks for the post.
It doesn't matter what a person experiences in life. Good or bad just b glad that God is still good and his mercies are limitless. Doesn't matter what you've done he still forgives and saves. Doesn't matter what situation we're he can deliver. We just need to have a no matter what it is praise or worship.
If a good man brings me water when I am thirsty, or if a bad man brings me water when I am thirsty......I thank God for the water...
I never get tired of hearing this song. LOVE IT!
Beautiful delivery! So refreshing to be able to hear someone sing the lyrics of this song without oversinging and over coloring it with excessive runs. Sweet sound to my ears!
[Verse1:]
I've had some good days
I've had some hills to climb
I've had some weary days
And some sleepless nights
But when I look around
And I think things over
All of my good days
Out-weigh my bad days
I won't complain
[Verse2:]
Sometimes the clouds are low
I can hardly see the road
I ask a question, Lord
Lord, why so much pain?
But he knows what's best for me
Although my weary eyes
They can't see
So I'll just say thank you Lord
I won't complain
[Chorus:]
The Lord Has been so good to me
He's been good to me
More than this old world or you could ever be
He's been so good, To me
He dried all of my tears away
Turned my midnights into day
So I'll just say thank you Lord
[Adlib:]
I've been lied on
But thank you Lord
I've been talked about
But thank you Lord
I've been misunderstood
But thank you Lord
You might be sick
Body reeking with pain
But thank you Lord
The bills are due
Don't know where the money coming from
But thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
[Chorus:]
I want to thank God
Has been so good to me
He's been good to me
More than this old world or you could ever be
He's been so good
He's been so good
He's been so good
So good
So good
So good
So good
To me
He dried all of my tears away
Turned my midnight into day
[Ending:]
So I'll just say thank you Lord
I won't complain
Beautifully sung
Hey Johnny we at El Bethel Temple missed you a lot when you went off to college at 16. But now we are all seeing God has such a great purpose for you life. Do your thing "John Legend". We are proud of you.

I LOVE THE WAY HE SINGS THIS SONG...MY MOM WHO HAS PAST ON A FEW MONTHS AGO USE 2 SING THIS SONG AWESOME IN OUR CHURCH;-)
Listening to this in 2022. You did that on one of my favorite gospel songs.
I just fell in love with John Legend even more for singing this song.
Just what I needed today...God knows what's best for me!!!!!!

Who are these people who dislike songs like this? Glorify God May Jesus Name Be Exalted Forever!!!!!!
This song is absolutely beautiful and John Legend is a genius
My friend sent me this song...& it was perfect timing!!! I needed to hear this...I can NOT complain ANYMORE! I ♥ U Lord
I "Dont" Complain! Just an Open book. Thank You Father!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Lord I love this song, and hearing John Legend sing it ads so much more to it.
He did really well singing this song. Most people over sing this song. My favorite version by far!
He's kills this song!!! Very melodic, beautiful, simplistic, and the thing w/ this song is that people feel the need to scream it rather than to sing it so we can actually here the words... This is awesome
I could just have this song on repeat all day long.I Love how he sings it!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG!!! BEAUTIFUL RENDITION!!

This is one of my favorite songs I sing it all the time. As a fan of John Legend I love his take on this song. It really blessed me to hear this
Mz Vann...u are so right!!! He is VERY talented and VERY under rated!!
I love it when secular singers sing Gospel for just going to their roots, not trying to make a dollar.
thank you lord for letting john legend singing this song
am blown away by this! My late uncle, Rev. Paul Jones is the creator of the deeply inspirational song and everyone and there mother has been triying to make it thier own since he was murded back in 1990....left this world before he could get the copyrights to it.

Just a shame how people can claim to be Christians and yet find it in their hearts to capitalize off something that the true creator will never get due credit for.
It don't matter HOW this man sang the song, the fact is he SANG it WELL, and will ALWAYS sing it BETTER than anyone with a negative response.
Holy Week always causes introspection....this is what's on my heart today....Be Blessed!
God has been so good to me. More than this world can ever be. I just say thank You Lord. (tears, just tears).

This blessed me! Sing sir!!!!
Such an amazing contemporary artist. I'm glad I get to be around to see more of what he sings...
Some people have to have find negativity in everything. Instead of people being happy that he sung a gospel song on national television, they are hating.

Of all the John Legend songs I've hated, this is the best song (gospel song) I've heard come out his mouth.
its hard listening to this it was sung at my grandma's funeral rest in heaven grandma♥
I love how it wasn't over-sung! It was simple and without a lot of rifts and runs; I appreciate him for his musicianship.
Thank you! It amazes me how many holier than thou folks find fault and judge someone else's walk! If they were accurately interpreting scripture, they pay attention to their own stuff and stop judging others!

I thank Lord, for you too John, I bless you in the name of Jesus, amen.
