Waiting For the Rain to Come Down

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 in your breeze
hold me in your arms
I've fallen in a sinfilled world
and idolized it's charms
Waitin' for the rain to come down.

My heart is prone to wander lord
through a marketplace of grief
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 waitin' for the rain to come down
Waitin' for the love to light
waitin' for the rain to come down and set me right
Waitin' for the rain to come down.

Along the way
I fall behind
I wonder every day
am I still on your mind
I don't have a reason to go on if we're apart
and I don't have the keys to open up your heart
While i'm waitin' on the rain to come down
waitin' for the love to start
waitin' on the rain to come down
and fill my heart
Waitin' on the rain to come down
waitin' for the love to light
waitin' on the rain to come down and set me right
waitin' 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,
I'm in need of tenderness
shelf my pride forever god and get me through the test
While i'm waitin' on the rain to come down
waitin' for the love to rest
waitin' on the rain to come down
i'm doing my best
I'm waitin' on the rain to come down
waitin' for the love to light
waitin' on the rain to come down and set me right
While i'm waitin' for the rain to come down
Waoh, waaaaoooh.
while i'm waiting on the rain to come down
waoh, waaaoh.
