As the darkness of
A million bad things
Fades
The rain falls down

As the sunshine of
Your complete perfection
Surrounds me
The rain falls down

As your caring arms of
Hard, yet softened steel
Hug me
The rain falls down

As your lips of
Compassion and love
Kiss me
The rain falls down

As the hate and deceit of
A million people
Cringes
The rain falls down

I cannot imagine my world
Without the steady beating,
The careful cleansing,
The silent dripping,
Of the warm wetness from the sky
Please, don’t let it stop
