Pray For Rain

Pfr Pray For Rain Lyrics
1.You Lord

I used to do okay on my own
Think i was made of stone
That i could carry a heavy load
Never thought that one day i'd be all alone
And then the road got long
I saw i was wrong
And had no one to lean upon
But you kept me from falling far below
And taught me something i had ever known that

Chorus
You lord, you lord
Can hold my heart in your hands
You lord, you lord
Can change me with a fleeting glance
You lord, you lord
Can push me to know greater things

If i had a dime for every time
I've tried to live this on my own
I guess i'd be a rich man wouldn't i
But money never bought me peace , love or happiness
It only seemed to make a mess
And right about then i'd open my eyes
And once again i realize that

Chorus

Push me out
Until i stand on stone and say i've made a choice
Push me down
Until i'm on my knees and listing for your voice
Push me around
Until my life touches others and they see what i've found
Show me how
I can take this life and give it away

Chorus


2.Do You Want To Know Love

Do you feel like you wake up everyday
To watch your life slide right by
Is it slipping away
Does the question call to your mind
Are you just doing time
Could there be a better way

I say yes
You say maybe
But you've got to know

Chorus
Do you want to know love tonight
Isn't it time you had true love
Would you like a little peace in your life
Well, wouldn't you
Are you gonna know love tonight
Or will you stand in the corner again
Do you want to know love tonight

Did she come into your life
Did she walk into view
Just to walk out on you
Did he promise he would stay
Now he's driving away
Could any love be true

I say yes
You say i doubt it
But you've got to know

Chorus

Only one love is true
That's the love god has for you
Only one love is real
In his son it was revealed
Only one love will stay
Even when you walk away
Only one love can stand
Can you give this love a chance


3.Let Go

If there is only one god, why do we serve so many
If there is only one law, why do we live like there aren't any
I'm not trying to get you down. i just want you to know
That if you're gonna live for god, you've got to let go

Chorus
Gotta let go of the little things, before they get you down
Gotta let go or they'll drag you to the bottom and hold you down
It's a war we all fight, and compromise is the battleground
But if you're ever gonna grow, you've got to let go

If there is only one truth, one original way
Why do we search like blind men
Can't see the sunshine in the light of day
We've got to turn around and run the other way
Cause if were gonna live for god,
We've got to turn away

Chorus b
Turn away from the little things
Before they get you down
Turn away or they'll drag us to the bottom
And hold us down
It's a war we all fight
And compromise is the battleground
But is we're ever gonna change
We've got to turn away

Chorus b


4.Didn't He

Too many hearts
On too many strings
We could cut them down
But instead we let them hang in the breeze
Oh my brother tell me why

And why is my sister down on her knees
Crying out won't somebody help me
And where are we

Chorus
Didn't he love them
Didn't he hold out his hand
Wasn't jesus a model
An example to man
Of how we must love everyone in this land
And give till it hurts
Isn't that part of the plan

But we can't see through our religious charade
To take what he's given
And give love away

One more night
No place to call home
A torn-up jacket on his back
It's getting pretty cold
Where do i stand
Do i reach out my hand

And one more child's face
An my tv screen
She's dying of hunger
Shy can't we meet her need
And where are we

Chorus

But we can't see through our holy facade
To do the one thing that we're called to by god

Chorus

But we've all been blinded
By our selfish ways
Can we change this pattern
Will we stay the same

Chorus 2x

Didn't he love them


5.My Time

Daydreaming again
Trying to get my mind together
Seeing what could be
Will it take forever

Let me have this moment
Let me take this moment for myself
S silence oh so sweet
Silence shared with someone else

Wanting to escape
I close my eyes
And all the day's confusion
Just passes by

My only release
Is to call on you
A comforting conversation
A message is getting through

This is my time this is my time
This is ours to share
This is my time this is my time
This is my time


6.Pray For Rain

Born in a dry season
Wind and sand have blown through me
Haven't found shade anywhere
Only moments of relief
But sometimes i think i hear the thunder
Somewhere on the horizon line
If i could just find a way to get under
The rain that can reach this soul of mine

Chorus
I pray for rain to come
And wash away what's made me numb
I pray for a ragging storm
To drown what's in me
And the rain comes in the nick of time
I swallow hard cause my throat's been dry
The rain comes beating on my skin
Till i'm washed away - nothing left within
When the rain comes
Your rain comes

Seasons have passed so quickly
Since i felt that first big storm
Still there have been times of drought
When i've prayed for the clouds to form
And i often hear the thunder
And i know of its coming rain
Many times in my life i'll kneel under
The moving showers that brought this change

Chorus 2x


7.Home Again

Hangin' on a string
Walking a tightrope
I've been relying on myself for far too long
Livin' on my own
And thinking i'd cope
Why'd i put you on the shelf
Oh i was wrong

Livin' on good intentions
Never got me very far
Only with your direction
Can i get to where you are

Chorus
Home again
I've been gone way to long
Home again
I don't want to roam no more
I'm where i belong

I must have thought
Dreaming again out of habit
Something bout tryin to get myself ahead
Led to want it all
Then remembering i had it
I've been down that road
And won't go back again

Chorus


8.Stay

We don't have to say a word
Sometimes its better when we don't
Apologizes aren't always heard

Sit beside me through the storm
The clouds above will take another form

Chorus
It would be so easy for you to walk away
All that i can tell you is
I want you to stay

Forget that man i was before
My eyes are open to the sky
My back lay flat against another shore

I can't erase mistakes i've made
And i can't stand to have them bring you pain

Chorus

The clouds are empty
They roll away
The sky is silent
I am amazed
That you are still sitting here
When you could have left me
To drift away

Chorus


9.Forest

There's a forest in my heart
No i'm not crazy
I can feel the trees
Reaching out toward the sky
But the sun is getting hard
Somehow that changes me
Maybe you have seen
How the light can leave my eyes...

There's a forest in my heart
It seems so crazy
Cause i've tried to climb
Every tree that shades my mind
But with every try i find
The branches breaking
And i'm alone and cold
Like the shadows left behind...

There's a forest in my heart
I must be crazy
To believe that i
Could climb to reach the sky
For i know that in its time
The sun will come to me
And in warmth and love
I will rise the above the sky...


10.On And On

Father above
Look upon me now
How i've come this far
Only you know how
You've changed my life
Made me whole
All i am now
To you i owe it all

You are reality
You alone are life
You take a heart so dull
And make it shine so bright
To burn for you
And all you are
A light in the night
A guiding star
You are

Here are all my burdens
I lift them up to you
Your words they easy my mind
Your gentleness shines through
Giving us hope
When hope is all gone
Never retreating
Sending us on and on
