Lyrics

A Little Rain (James 1:2-3)
Consider it pure joy my brothers when you experience trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

F, C Bb C
Sometimes. Bb
Life's not fair. F
Once in a while. Bb
It's more than you can bare. Dm C

The winds of change are blowing. Bb
The clouds start to churn. F
The lightning flashes all around G
It's time to take your turn. Bb C

A little rain must fall. F
Like teardrops from the sky C
Don't hold back Dm
Let them wash away your pain C Bb
Hold your head up high F
Look to the sky
You'll be better off on the other side C
At the height Dm
Of the storm
You will find your way C Bb
So don't be afraid. C.
Of a little rain. F

Some days. Bb
Life goes crazy. F
Some days. Bb
You can feel it in your bones. Dm C

You know hard times are coming. Bb
Drop down to your knees. F
Pour your heart out, keep the faith. G
He will guide you home Bb C

A little rain must fall. F
Like teardrops from the sky C
Don't hold back Dm
Let them wash away
Your pain
Hold your head up high F
Look to the sky
You'll be better off on the other side C
At the height Dm
Of the storm
You will find your way C Bb
So don't be afraid. C.
Of a little rain. F

Don't let doubts get you down. Bb
When the storm keeps raging on. F
Remember when you're really weak. G
Is when He's really strong (keep movin' on) Bb C
