I Welcome the Rain

Heaven knows it's tough to be livin'
Every waking moment, just another fight
It's hard enough to just be driven
To carry out the flame
And let it burn through the night

And when the heat comes
And starts to rise
Like an angry fire inside
You're the only One
That can make it right
That's why...

I welcome the rain
The rain down on me, yeah
I welcome the rain, the rain

And I can bleed in scarlet red
But livin' on the cutting edge of life
It separates the bone and marrow
But lifts my heart
In the wings of a sparrow's flight

And when the heat starts
And comes in waves
I can lift my hands in praise
Your Spirit sets my heart ablaze
That's right

I welcome the rain
The rain down on me
Washing down on me
I welcome the rain, the rain
Washing me clean
Yes, I welcome the rain, the rain

All of my tears
Like droplets they fall to the streams
The streams form to rivers
And rivers to oceans and seas
In the depths of Your peace

I welcome the rain
The rain down on me
Washing down on me
I welcome the rain, the rain
Washing me clean
Washing me, washing me clean
Yes, I welcome the rain, the rain
Ooh, set me free
Set me free, set me free
Ooh, I welcome the rain, the rain
Oh, the rain, ha, ha!
