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.
