Bring Down the Rain

When my mind cannot think and my mouth cannot pray And my soul is so far gone in the darkest place When I long for You inside my heart I am looking for some light where there is not even a spark No one can know the pain I feel inside So why do I reach out to the unworthy ones and from You I hide You know me, You know my soul I look to every other place when I am afraid and it is You that I cling to and hold Then I look at myself, I hold the blame I fool myself, I feel the flame I take a deep breath and swallow the shame How amazing You are that You take me back And You take me away from that off-beaten track You pick me up from that darkest place If I could have the strength to only look up and see Your face Then the power of Your light will shine right through And I would know that it could only come from You That saving grace, that blinding light, that gives me strength in the darkest night I’ll fall for You, don’t let me give away my soul I’ll fall for You You are the only one who can make me whole I’ll fall for You when I have no strength left to stand If I fall for You then You’ll guide me with Your plan Lord take away that foolish pride That selfishness, that guilt inside From the Heavens bring down the rain And wash away all of my pain So why do I look to the world for that light? When I have known that Your power has brought me through the fight I have been in Your presence so many times before From the Heavens bring down the rain - Let it pour I’ve fallen away from Your perfect plan for me And now my eyes, they cannot see So teach me again how to walk Your way Do not abandon my soul, for this I pray
