It was raining, and she sat by the window
watching the raindrops simply roll off.
The storm doesn't seem to be ending
and the clouds are still an angry grey.
She recounts, sitting there,looking back over her life
If I never get to see another rainbow
Or share another laugh with a friend
If I never stand barefoot by the ocean
Or get to kiss my child goodnight again
Lowering her head against the cool glassS
he sighed against it, watching her breath
fog the glass up - like her life, uncertain and confused.
How long more do I have on earth?When will everything end?
Lord when will everything be resolved...
and when will everything... just go back
to what it was ?
If I never have another prayer that's answered
Or have another blessing come my way
If this is all I know of heaven's kindness
Father I would still have to say...
Dear sweet child of mine
have you not have faith
in Me, your Lord your God?
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh,"soon my child, just wait . . .
You have been good
You have been good
And I may've wondered how could it be
You have been good
You've been so good
So many ways You've been good to me
And the tears spilled over
at the sound of her Father's voice
The countless blessings
the unconditional lovef
looded her, overwhelmingly
You've shown me mercy upon mercy
Grace upon grace
Time after time
And I know all too well what I'm deserving
Yet You are still so patient and kind
She has drifted so many timest
oo many times
but still God took her back-no matter how far she strayed
it would never be too far out of His sight.
He disciplined her as a loving father would
with mercy and with love - How could she not see it ?
Suddenly it all were ended
And your past sins disappear
Looking back over a lifetime
The evidence is clear
The storm began to clear up
the exhausted clouds retreating
The first watery rays of sun broke through
She wiped her eyes, and looked beyond
the little droplets of rain sliding down the window
There it was
Just a hint - but slowly coming through -A rainbow .
So many ways You've been good to me -
