Story Behind The Song

Many things in this life beg our questioning of "why" they happened. Sometimes we just through up our hands and say, ok, reveal Yourself! "Come Like Rain" is a prayer asking for revelation to come, and to be washed clean of this grief.

Song Description

Feeling broken, weak, depressed, and lonely, the writer calls upon God to come, like rain, and wash away the grief, burn the darkness, and reveal His light.

Lyrics

Where's there a verse that tells me how i'm suupposed to feel?
One that uses my own name, and convinces me that i am real.
Why wont God come sit beside me and take me by the hand,
and tell me that... Oh my Jesus He loves me.
and our God is so big, so strong and so mighty....
and after i've watched the world new,
tell me, where is the sunday sohool flannel-graph
that shows me where i'm to be?
we were taught to know and fear God,
then i learned that it totally terrifies me.

So come, come like rain,
Drench me and wash over me.
Burn this darkness and reveal Your light ,
and reaveal Yourself to me.
Please Lord, give me all of the answers,
cause i'm terribly afraid.
and this life that i'm living is all that i'm giving
to magnify your name.

Things were so much easier, before i learned to drive.
that child-like faith was a blessing, before i became so "wise".
Now i'm caouting the days til my school loans are due,
wondering if money will reach,
while i'm hoping my guy wont be drafted
to a far land overseas,
and meanwhile i sit by my rain-coated window
feeling nothing but brokenand beat.

So Lord come, come like rain,
Drench me and wash over me.
Burn this darkness and reveal Your light ,
and reaveal Yourself to me.
Please Lord, give me all of the answers,
cause i'm terribly afraid.
and this life that i'm living is all that i'm giving
to magnify your name.

Christians should have all in order, and never be lonely or scared.
and every day should be happ, and have netiher a worry or care.
but the more that i live, the more that i realize
just how many burdens we share.
oh yes i still cry when i'm hurting,
and my body still aches when i'm sad.
and i know that this life just can't last forever,
and that's what hurts me so bad.

I'm not asking for permanent closuref,
just some clear directions from you
I'm not asking for the impossible ,
just a miracle or two.
Can't you see all the mess we're in?
Father show us you're faithful and true!
Jesus lift me up 'cause tomorow
is always scary and new!

So Lord come, come like rain,
Drench me and wash over me.
Burn this darkness and reveal Your light ,
and reaveal Yourself to me.
Please Lord, give me all of the answers,
cause i'm terribly afraid.
and this life that i'm living is all that i'm giving
to magnify your name.
