The Rain
From Wash Away Your Troubles
(Becky Buller, Goodnight Sparky Music, BMI)
Chorus:
Wash away your troubles
Wash away your pain
Thank the Lord above in Heaven
For sendin' down the rain.
The crops had all been planted
But the fields were lyin' dry
The farmer stood on his barren land
Cursed the sun up in the sky.
Preacher Sunday morning
Said, "Listen to what I say!
If you wanna see them storm clouds,
You better get down on your knees and pray."
(Chorus)
He stepped out of the pulpit
And silence filled the air
As all the congregation
Bowed their heads in humble prayer.
And when amen was spoken.
The tears rolled down their face
Cuz the rain was streaming down outside
So they sang "Amazing Grace." (How sweet the sound.)
(Chorus)
Long ago in Bethlehem
A little child came down
Like holy rain to quench the souls
Of the men upon the ground
So if your heart's been achin',
He's what you're lookin' for.
Just take a drink from Jesus
And you'll never thirst no more.
