Promise of the Rain

Raindrops fall, sweep across the window pane
Wonder why, the Great Beyond hides His face, behind the clouds
Moments ago, His presence lit my back with warmth
Now cold drips down, loneliness soaks through my skin, deep within
But the promise of the rain is that the garden will grow
Love sprouts up anew, deep within my hardened soul
The case of rock wrapped round my heart shudders and cracks
No thing of the world has strength to hold Him back
Nothing shall prevail
His power is as gentle as the rainfall
The heaving storms, He quiets in my soul
Fear and doubt, they mist away, smoothing, soothing, cooling
Even in the dark of rain, I know that He is by my side
The clouds that lie low, are nothing more than His embrace
For the promise of the rain is that the garden will grow
Love sprouts up anew, deep within my hardened soul
The case of rock wrapped round my heart shudders and cracks
No thing of the world has strength to hold Him back
Nothing shall prevail
His power is as gentle as the rainfall
Naught is left, within me save to glorify
My soul no longer cleft, free to lift Him high
With one voice, and one heart, and one soul, to lift Him high
Cuz the promise of the rain, is that the garden will grow
Love sprouts up anew, deep within my hardened soul
The case of rock wrapped round my heart shudders and cracks
No thing of the world has strength to hold Him back
Nothing shall prevail
His power is as gentle as the rainfall

Shepherd

I shall not want
I shall not want, for anything
For you leadeth me beside still waters
You lay me down in fields of green
You restore my soul
You restore my soul
So I shall not want
Thy rod and staff
Thy rod and staff, they comfort me
For you plant me safe among my enemies
With them a table you prepare for me
And you fill my cup
Yeah you fill my cup, to overflowing
An anointing over me
Yea, though I walk, through the valley of death, I will fear no evil
For you, like a shepherd with sheep, are always standing there watching over me
And you're leading my way, guiding my steps, on a trail both narrow and steep
Like a deer on a cliff, every foothold so sure, on your pathways of righteousness
So for all my life
For all my life, I'll dwell with you my Shepherd
Your mercy clothing me in brilliance
Your goodness rooted in my heart
So let your will be done
In my life, let your will be done
And let your kingdom come
In this world, let your kingdom come

Blessed

Stop, for once in your life
Wait, just give it a chance
Think, what if I'm right
And there's a God who loves you, and He's just waiting for you to invite him inside
Hear the mysteries spoke within
Taste the honey and the milk
Touch the wounds in His hands and His side
See the lepers cleansed, and Lazarus come alive
There's a life I know that never ends
And it begins with a death to one's own interests
One way or another we'll pass through that veil
And find ourselves just beyond, we'll be no longer frail
So when the Spirit calls, do not harden your hearts
Listen, and you will enter that rest
And I know you'll be blessed
Stand strong on His promises
Run in grace, the race He has given you
Take on your dragons, wearing the armor of the Lord
And over the battlefield, like an eagle you will soar
Share everything that He's given you
Love forever, cuz you know it's what you were made to do
Care for the neighbors, He's put around you near and far
Tell all the world, how He opened your eyes and your heart
Yeah this is the life I know that never ends
It begins long before we draw our final breath
It flows from the only true fountain on high
Sets you free to give all, cuz it never runs dry
So when the Spirit calls, do not harden your heart
Listen, and you will enter that rest
And I know you'll be blessed
Now rest, you've come to the finish line
Be at peace, your battles are won
Do not fear for the ones you left behind
They are held by the love of the Son
Wait, I can't yet come after you
I still have much work down here that He's called me to do
But that day will soon come, and I'll see you again
When great grief and great joy become one
So when the Spirit calls you home
Do not harden your heart, go along
And for you who have entered eternal rest
I know you're blessed
