Rain

I’VE DREAMED MY LIFE a thousand days
And rode upon the wave
But hopeless hope deceived me on the way
I’ve dressed in white, I’ve dressed in black
But some things I can’t change
You met with me and clothed me with Your praise
And autographed my spirit with Your grace

Oh, it’s Your rain, rain falling down
Washing my soul with purity
Your rain, rain falling down on me

Now I gaze into the Son
Changed but still to change
And hopeful hope is rising every day
You’ve made my broken pieces heal
Carved my bones and fashioned me
Claimed my soul and burned me with Your name
And now I’ve moved to laughter from the pain

Oh, it’s Your rain, rain falling down
Washing my soul with purity
Your rain rain falling down on me
Oh, it’s Your rain, rain falling down
Restoring my strength and dignity
Your rain, rain falling down on me!

I long to see You standing in Your reign
