Ah!
Here comes the rain –
And there goes the pain.
They thought I was crazy but I knew I was sane.
Lord, please Baptize me with Your
Tears
I've been running away from You
For years.
My life, it went through a serious drought,
But
I never had any doubt
That somehow You'd work it
All
Out, so
Bring on the rain –
I have everything to gain.
Let there be light,
Let my dreams finally take flight.
Free me from my own
Personal
Hell!
I hope You came here to post
My bail.
I'll always tell
How You helped me through -
Displaying the type of love that comes
Only
From
You.
Because Your promise is true
Make my life look brand new.
Wash these sins from my hands.
Bury my past in Your sands.
When I couldn't stand
You carried me, yet
You made me stand my ground
When I wanted to flee!
Thank you God, for my strengths!
Thank you more for the lengths
That You would go through to set
Me
Free...
You unlocked my chains with the
Ultimate key!
You loved me more than words can say
And that is why to this very day,
When the wind picks up and the thunder rolls
I run outside and lift up my soul!
I have everything to lose and so much to gain!
Basking in the lightning
Is where You can find me
Calling out Your name -
Making sure that You can
Hear
Me!
Thanking you, thanking you, thanking
You
Oh Lord!
For sending this miasma...
That's always been the source of my pain...
Your magnificent
Blessed
and Holy
Black Rain.
