The Spirit In The Rain

I love the rain
As it falls down
From the sky
The pitta patter sound it makes
As it splashes against
Leaf and tree
Is soothing to the spirit
That dwells within me

And I feel release
Like the tears that flow from my eyes
As I weep
For I'm deeply sorrowed
By how I've been

So here in the quiet I lift me hands
to my Lord in prayer

The rain
As it falls down
It washes me clean
As it does...
With every living thing
Bringing hope and life anew

In essence
It's a rebirth
Of mind, body and soul
And I can find the joy of living
As the dirt fades a way
leaving me fresh and new

Bringing a light into my soul
Where once darkness was
Blind was I......,
But now I can see
For the Lord is with me
In each moment that I breathe

And like the rain
As it fades
The closer to thee I become

I love the rain
As it falls down
From the sky......,
The pitta patter sound it makes
As it splashes against
Leaf and tree

Is soothing to the spirit
That dwells within me.
