Shelter From the Rain
Verse 1
Sarah Mae was a single mom of four-
and she's struggling to get by...
The love of her life walked out the door-
Verse 2
Unemployment is running out…
Bills are piling up- now the rent’s due
Contemplated a loan but took
another route--
Chorus
She looked toward the sky and said...
I’ve been through storms and rain
Oh father, please give me shelter
my heart is consumed with pain
How long must I endure this weather
within she sensed his reply……
Verse 3
Listened to what she heard….
found an old dusty box-
Tucked inside was the word-
In the past, she tried to read it.
but had some stumbling blocks
Verse 4
Drew strength from the word..,
And from her children.
Her forgetting faith was stirred-
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
The storm of life will come
but eventually, they’ll cease
He will be your Rainbow
don't you know
Oh, don't you know…
And put your heart aglow
day by day, faith will increase
When you face another storm….
don't be alarmed
He’ll be your Rainbow
and put your heart aglow
Oh…. he'll set your heart aglow
