Rainy days on Monday...

Yes, it's raining outside...but I couldn't help but think of these lyrics to a Mercy Me song called BRING THE RAIN...The rain can be hard to endure but it's life-giving...I know so many who are facing circumstances they would have never dreamed...circumstances that are not anyones choice to face...but Paul reminds us to be joyful in the good and bad (1 Th 5:18)...and Jesus tells us that He will never forsake us! (Heb 13:5-6)


I can count a million times
People asking me how
I Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain

I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the lord God almighty
is the lord God almighty
I'm forever singing
