Rain

Sara Groves · Past the Wishing [2000]

Call it what you will I call it rain

When troubles come and pat against my soul

Go in if you like, I will remain

And let the washing waters make me whole



Just when I'm sure that I can't bear the rain

A tiny leaf starts pushing through the ground

In a place where the ground was too dry to sustain it

A new tiny flower can be found



Once I was stuck I thought things would never change

As I watched a cloud pass through the sky

Right before my eyes it took a different shape

And I knew, so were the clouds in my own life



Just when I'm sure that I can't bear the rain

A tiny leaf starts pushing through the ground

In a place where the ground was too dry to sustain it

A new tiny flower can be found



I see Him in the rain

I feel Him wash away

What I do not understand

So new life can spring up once again



I see Him in the rain

I feel Him wash away

What I do not understand

So new life can spring up once again



The flowers come to show that

the rain is helping me to grow
