Larry Norman - Let The Rain Fall Down lyrics
[Larry Norman - Let The Rain Fall Down lyrics]
My woman left me
Felt like she left me for another man
You know it came as some surprise
It wasn't in the plan
She never told me nothing was wrong
She didn't give me a clue
But one morning there was a knock on the door
And I found out we were through
I saw my future fading and with
The papers in my hand
I found myself transported into
This desert land
My feet are burning, the hour is getting late
My journey is much too long
And time will not wait
So Heavenly Father, thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall down on
The good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
As through this life you ramble and
Through this world you roam
You might live in a lot of
Places and never find your home
As down the road you wander and
Through the open fields you cross
You must never stop believing for
All is not lost
And don't worry 'bout the unfaithful
Lover and false friend
For the love that you have given
Is what matters in the end
So Heavenly Father, thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall down on
The good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
Life is complicated, very hard to live
I try to turn my cheek
To everything my enemies give
I've got a lot of compassion for
The sinners and the slaves
I've got a message for those
Not in their graves
He will cover you with water
And baptize your pain
If you let his power wash you
Clean and soothe your fevered brain
So Heavenly Father, help me thine to be
You let the rain fall down on
The quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
I didn't know you were my father
I thought you were the hanging judge
And when I came into your courtroom
I thought you'd hold a grudge
I thought I was a lowly servant
I didn't know I was your son
And I didn't know you had forgiveness
For anything I might have done
This world is crumbling
Your kingdom is at hand
Give me the strength to live
And help me to stand
There's gonna be a collision
The world is going fast
A mortgaged future meets a bankrupt past
A change is coming and people
Slumber in their bed
Storm clouds are bringing rain and
The moon is turning red
Heavenly Father, thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall down on
The quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
Felt like she left me for another man
You know it came as some surprise
It wasn't in the plan
She never told me nothing was wrong
She didn't give me a clue
But one morning there was a knock on the door
And I found out we were through
I saw my future fading and with
The papers in my hand
I found myself transported into
This desert land
My feet are burning, the hour is getting late
My journey is much too long
And time will not wait
So Heavenly Father, thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall down on
The good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
As through this life you ramble and
Through this world you roam
You might live in a lot of
Places and never find your home
As down the road you wander and
Through the open fields you cross
You must never stop believing for
All is not lost
And don't worry 'bout the unfaithful
Lover and false friend
For the love that you have given
Is what matters in the end
So Heavenly Father, thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall down on
The good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
