Grace like Rain?

When hopes and dreams come dashing to a halt,

Father, you tell us ‘be the light and be the salt’,

You tell us ‘help the poor, the fatherless and orphan’,

We seek to help but Father, why won’t you let us go?

Our world turned upside down,

 our thoughts seemingly bound

You are the one who heals the broken hearted

You guide our paths and love us while we’re parted

I don’t know why you made the things the way they are

Some days I’m fainting, I just need the strength to stand and breath

Things are so hard

Yet through the sorrow, you show us yourself

Through the sorrow you are more beautiful

We find your face when we’re facing hardship

When our dreams come falling down

You are here, and all around

Never once did we ever walk alone

Never once did you leave us on our own

Father, grace like rain is coming down.

Dedicated to my beautiful sister, Londa
