Sometimes He Lets it Rain

I've had a rough semester. And I got some disappointing news tonight. Not devastating. Just disappointing. And I was wondering to myself why He won't just let me catch a break. And this song popped into my head. I feel this way. I am in both places each verse describes. I feel the storm clouds raging. But I also see how far I've come. But right now He IS letting it rain in my life.

She sees the storm clouds gather

The sky is turning cold and grey

She knows that somethings coming

When she starts to feel this way

She pleads for intervention

But Heaven offers no relief

But she would understand

If she could only see

Sometimes He lets it rain;

He lets the fierce winds blow

Sometimes it takes a storm

To lead a heart where it can grow.

He can move mountains of grief

And oceans of pain.

But sometimes He lets it rain

When her heart surrenders

To the Master in control

Her spirit learns the lessons

Of the tempest in her soul

When it's no longer raging

She can see how far she's come

Through the wisdom

and the mercy of the Son.

Sometimes He lets it rain;

He lets the fierce winds blow

Sometimes it takes a storm

To lead a heart where it can grow.

He can move mountains of grief

And oceans of pain.

But sometimes He lets it rain

But Storms can't last forever.
