God Sent The Rain - by H. Spirit 4/16/91
Here I am, my Lord my God.
Ready to do Your will.
Thank You for the gifts You've granted
Your plan let us ful- fill.
I'm giving all my life to You
Send me forth to show
To all the world Your majesty
In a bright and heavenly glow
Come on my Lord, no time to waste
There are lots of people in need.
Lets make disciples of all the nations
Lets scatter the Holy Seed.
I don't understand my Lord my God
Why You dally so
Why I haven't heard from You
While I wait here ready to go.
My son He said
Trust in Me.
It's not time for you
You've known Me such a little while
Your faith is very weak.
Your pride should not be first but
My Kingdom you must seek.
Your strengths are truly impressive
But I choose to use the meek.
So God sent the rain, cold dark rain
To wash it all away
...
I'll make for you another life
Much better than before
Your cup will overflow with joy
You'll never want for more
The only thing you have to do
and all I'm asking for is trust in Me.
Hello Lord Nice to meet You
- How have You been ?
Yes it's been a while since I prayed
And I've dabbled in a couple of sins.
Forgive me etcetera I know You will
That's what I've known You for
I'll pray more often from now on
And I'll give more things to the poor.
But to be honest the reason I came
Before You this bright Spring day
You see I have this exam. Its an important one.
And it's only a day away.
I could have studied more
But there were somethings I had to do first
And the next thing you know I'm at this party
And quenching a sudden thirst.
My son, He said
Trust in Me
I have other plans for you.
You break my heart the way you treat Me
Worse than you do yourself.
To you I'm just a good luck charm
At the back of a large bookshelf.
If you choose to put things over Me then
There's not much I can help.
So God sent the rain, cold dark rain
To wash it all away
...
I'll make for you another life
Much better than before
Your cup will overflow with joy
You'll never want for more
The only thing you have to do
and all I'm asking for is trust in Me.
I fell in love ---
She came straight out of a dream.
So full of life, so full of laughter
This must be what happiness means.
Eyes like pearls and hair like satin
Oh what a sight to see !
All the right friends, all the right moves
And a great personality.
Then I found out, she like me too !
So I brought her into my life.
She was the one I was looking for
The angel I want for my wife.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was
As any fool could be.
I'll dedicate my life to her
And she her life to me.
My son, He said
Trust in Me
This one's not for you.
She doesn't believe in Me
She thinks your faith for fools.
She'll leave you for another
And break your heart in two.
You're my child, I love you.
And I won't let her do that to you.
So God sent the rain, cold dark rain
To wash it all away
...
I'll make for you another life
Much better than before
Your cup will overflow with joy
You'll never want for more
The only thing you have to do
and all I'm asking for is trust in Me.
"FINE" I said "get out of my life"
"Pack up Your things and begone !"
"From now on, I call the shots
*MY* will, not Yours be done!
What good is it in following You
You keep asking me to give up
Everything that I hold so dear
Everything that I love.
Go on, Get out ! I have no need
For a god who could cause me pain.
OFF OF *MY* THRONE ! I'm just trying to live
And all You do is send me rain."
It felt so good to vent my frustration
And tell Him a thing or two.
Then I sat back in self exhultation
And waited to see what He'd do.
...I heard nothing.
...He really did it.
...I was alone.
It felt so good to do what I wanted
To be free and to fend for myself.
To walk any walk, think any thought and to
Be free of anyone's help.
My rain clouds parted and the sun came out
And hightlighted all around.
I took my head out of spiritual matters
And planted my feet on the ground.
It was then that I noticed a terrible pain
A tearing of my heart inside.
But it wasn't my heart, as hard as it was
That felt as if it had just died.
I realized then, whose love it was
That in such sorrow cried.
It was the Lord my God and his Heavenly Son
Whose heart I had torn with my pride.
My son, He said
Come back to Me
You know not what you do.
I'm the one who cares for you
I created you for me.
Then I sent my Son to die for you
In order to set you free.
I've started a great work in you
Which you'll like I guarantee.
See my rain. Holy Rain.
It's the blood of Christ
To wash your sins away.
I'll make for you another life
Much better than before
Your cup will overflow with joy
You'll never want for more
The only thing you have to do
and all I'm asking for
is trust in Me.
I felt so ashamed at what I had done
I couldn't life my head.
I had gone beyond forgiveness.
I'd be better off to be dead.
What I thought was sun light
was really the darkest shades.
And the cold dark rain turned out to be
A refreshing clear cascade.
I looked about at the things I gathered
The things I held so close.
All of them I thought I'd gained
I now considered lost.
I don't know what to do now.
I don't know what to say.
The Lord will call me sometime soon.
And I dread that terrible day.
My son, He said.
Come to Me.
I'm so proud of you.
You think you're least in my Kingdom
But you're the greatest in my eyes.
I've forgotten all your tresspasses
Your sins and all your lies.
Now come to me and take my hand
Together we will fly.
See my rain. Holy Rain.
It's the blood of Christ
To wash your sins away.
I'll make for you another life
Much better than before
Your cup will overflow with joy
You'll never want for more
The only thing you have to do
and all I'm asking for
is trust in Me.
Send Your rain. Beautiful rain.
Wash my sins away.
You're the one who created me
You put me in your plan.
You sent Your Son to die for me
And away from Him I ran.
But now I know the absolute Truth
And I give You all I can.
And trust in You.
