Waiting For The Rain To Come Down Lyrics

Wash away my sins Lord
Cleanse me in the rain
Let your holy thunder
Take away my pain
Let me cry some tears Lord
Heal my sorry eyes
Dark and dry as deserts
Baking in the lies
Calm me with your breeze
Hold me in your arms
I've fallen in a sin filled world
And idolized it's charms
Waiting for the rain to come down

My heart is prone to wander Lord
Through a marketplace of greed
Free my mind from worry
And I'll follow if you lead
I'm like a child on the inside God
But guilty of the crime
Your innocence remains in me
When you strip away the grime
Devils crawl around my house and
Underneath my skin
I'm ashamed that when sin knocked
I chose, I chose to let it in

While I was waiting for the rain to come down
Waiting for the love to light
Waiting for the rain to come down and set me right
I'm waiting for the rain to come down.

Along the way
I fall behind
I wonder everyday
Am I still on your mind?
I don't have a reason to go on if we're apart.
I don't have the keys to open up your heart.

While I'm waiting on the rain to come down.
Waiting for the love to start
Waiting on the rain to come down and fill my heart
I'm waiting on the rain to come down
Waiting for the love to light
Waiting for the rain to come down and set me right
Waiting for the rain to come down

I've made you vows and promises
And I've meant to follow through
Do the things inside my heart
That I, I have failed to do
You're welcome in my life Lord
Welcome in my home
Welcome in my heart Lord
But still I feel alone
I'm in need of your direction
In need of tenderness
Shelf my pride forever God
And get me through the test

While I'm waiting on the rain to come down
Waiting for the love to rest
Waiting on the rain to come down
I'm doing my best
I'm waiting on the rain to come down
Waiting for the love to light
Waiting on the rain to come down and set me right
While I'm waiting for the rain to come down
While I'm waiting on the rain to come down
I'm waiting for the rain to come down
