Who wrote the gospel song I won't complain?

Answer 1

The song 'Thank You (I Won't Complain)' is by Fred Hammond. Some of the lyrics are: 'Oh Lord You have been/ So good to me/ More than this world could ever be/ I really want to thank You/ Lord I won't complain'.

Answer 2

There are many that do; John Kee, Andrae Crough, and Sharon M Jones are a few. Another one is Rev Paul Jones, who sang the song most requested by people at Church functions. Unfortunately, he was murdered at a young age in 1990.

Answer 3

I've noticed that many attribute the writing of this song to the late Rev Paul Jones, but he was not the author of the song "I Won't Complain". Rather, this great gospel song was actually written in 1974 by the late Rev. Don Johnson from Nashville, Tennesse, an ALJC pastor. The correct title to the song is actually "I Can't Complain", but has been changed over time. Very few words have been changed to the Rev. Johnson's song for the version, " I Won't Complain". Please go to You Tube to view Rev. Don Johnson himself singing this beautiful original song, "I Can't Complain"

I've had some good days

I've had some hills to climb

I've had some weary days

And lonely nights

But when I look around

And I think things over

All of my good days

They out weigh my bad days

So I won't complain

Sometimes the clouds are low

I can hardly see the road

I ask the question Lord

Lord, why

Why, why, why so much pain?

But the Lord knows what's best for me

Although my weary eyes

Oh they can't see
