Hard Times

Is the rain fallin' from the sky
Keepin' you from singin'
Is that tear fallin' from your eye
'Cause the wind is stingin'?

Well, don't you fret now, child
Don't you worry
The rain's to help you grow
So don't try to hurry the storm along
The hard times make you strong

Don't you know
A seed could never grow
If there were never showers?
And though the rain
Might bring a little pain
Just look at all the flowers

And don't you fret now, child
Don't you worry
The rain's to help you grow
So don't try to hurry the storm along
The hard times make you strong

I know how long a day can seem
When storm clouds hide His face
And if the rain dissolves your dream
Just remember His amazin' grace

Don't you know
The sun is always there
Even when the rains fall?
And don't you know
The Son will always care
When He hears your voice call?

So, don't you fret now, child
Don't you worry
That rain's to help you grow
So don't try to hurry the storm along
The hard times make you strong

So, don't you fret now, child
Don't you worry
That rain's to help you grow
So don't try to hurry the storm along
The hard times make you strong
