As I stared out the screen door at the torrent washing down our street, a song by Sara Groves started playing in my head. Called "Rain" it has been one of my favorites by her for a long time. I always thought is was kind of cheating to post song lyrics as a blog post, but I am going to do it anyway!

Rain

By Sara Groves
Call it what you will I call it rain When troubles come and pat against my soul Go in if you like, I will remain And let the washing waters make me whole Just when I’m sure that I can't bear the rain A tiny leaf starts pushing through the ground In a place where the ground was too dry to sustain it A new tiny flower can be found Once I was stuck I thought things would never change As I watched a cloud pass through the sky Right before my eyes it took a different shape And I knew, so were the clouds in my own life I see Him in the rain I feel Him wash away What I do not understand So new life can spring up once again The flowers come to show that All that rain was helping me to grow. By the way, I love rain, and all that comes with it.The clouds, thunder, lighting, puddles, and especially.....dancing in it! Enjoy the rain.
