Bring the Rain, by MercyMe

Life wears me down. I get so frustrated over things I cannot control and have to work twice as hard to make up the difference. It's stressful, but it's the story of my life it seems. I try to handle it, but it gets the best of me all too many times. There rarely seems to be peace on those nights. I can't even relax or listen to music. It's all too much for me to handle. But we need those tough experiences to help us grow and achieve the plan God has for us.

Even though we're beaten down and weary, sometimes we need to take a step back and breathe for a moment. God never gives us more than we can handle. Not only that, but if we have God on our side, we can handle anything that comes our way. He is our shelter and strength throughout it all. Even when we're in such a tired state, our attitude needs to change. We need to be able to say "God, I don't know what life is going to bring me today, but bring it my way because I know we'll handle this together".

Bring the Rain: MercyMe (Album: Coming Up to Breathe)

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 dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
