Through the Rain

The walls of this room should have crumbled Should have crumbled a long time ago From all the tears that have ran down this face And soaked up every corner and space. Those nights I curled up on my pillow And sobbed as my heart broke in two All those teardrops, they flooded my bedroom I wondered if I’d ever make it through. Someone must have held me those long nights And wiped my tears away Cause somehow this room is still standing Even though its been through the rain. Now there’s walls around this heart of mine And the windows are barred up tight I know that I need to tear them down But it hurts so much inside. Lord, teach me how to trust again Show me what love really means I know the world will always let me down But you’re all that I’ll ever need. Jesus, thank you for holding me those long nights And for wiping my tears away Cause you’re the only reason I’m still standing Even though I’ve been through the rain.

Fantastic and emotionaly relevent poem. I was moved by your writing. Having shed a few tears along the way I was not always aware of the flowers that were being watered in my path. Now I live in a Garden of God's Grace.
