Waiting for the Rain to Stop

copyright (c) 2005

When the day's rain was just too much to bear,
That forever friend will surely be there.

And, when you fall in the mud,
That friend will rush to pick you up, and wipe off any blood.

But, as the rain comes to a slow,
That friend will still be there, to rejoice with you--you made it though yet another blow.

Through sunshine and rain
And happiness and pain;
Through weakness and strength,
That friend will go to every length
To be by your side,
To whom you may, all the more, confide.

Life, it's full of ups and downs,
But they all seem like nothing, compared to the sounds
Of that one true friend, who was always there,
To tell you it'll be okay, and to show you Jesus through much needed prayer.
