I’ve seen the rain and sometimes it causes me pain
to see the world breaking around me
I didn’t want for you to bring me rain,
but with the rain brings growth

I ask you to bring me rain, so I can sit back and watch me grow
The trials in my life, are bringing me one step closer
to feeling your healing, and one step closer to your heart.
I wanted to go through my life with never being nourished

I am scorched and my soul is parched
Oh how I need you to rain down mercy on my desert
Wanting a taste of refreshment, but too scared to soak it up
I am uncertain about what you need to grow in my life

I know it will not be easy
I know it will not be fun
I know you will bring me closer
I know you will bring me comfort.

Inspired by Tenth Avenue North “Hold my Heart” off the album “Over and Underneath.”

I keep running away because I feel so unworthy
But I want to learn to draw near to you because I know when I seek you I will find you
I want to hold your hand as you lift my head
I know I shouldn’t fear because God is my portion
I want to experience the love that you have given me

I want to share that love with others
As you told us to pick up our cross and follow you
That night on Calvary
You took three nails to be with me
I still don’t understand it but I will hold your hand

There are many things that I want to give you
It seems like there is always more
I can’t seem to trust you to hold
I didn’t want to keep anything back from you
But I realize I do it everyday.

8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8
