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 Alexis Y. 12-16-2020

Hi John, Thank you so much. I like the lyric form; however, I'm not that good it. I won't be doing them often, but I will from time to time. It means a lot that you stopped and by and left such a kind comment. Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis
