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. ************************************************************************ Comments and creative criticisms more than welcome ! mail to jm0h@ns.cc.lehigh.edu c/o Jon ^>*<^ btw this sounds much better when sung.
