Bring the rain - Mercy Me

Bring the rain

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain

I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than my pain
you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the lord God almighty
is the lord God almighty
I'm forever singing

Everybody singing
Holy holy holy
you are holy
you are holy

Had a rough Monday - may have wrecked my plans for the summer. And I was bitter, I was disappointed, I was cut. For this was something i really wanted (for ages).
But at the end, as the song goes, "what's a little rain?" compared to what my Savior went through for me (Romans 8:18-39)? Dare I pray that God brings me rain, if that's what it takes to praise Him? Rain hurts... and yet I made the mistake of focusing on my failure, my situation. For a night I forgot that I am Yours regardless of what happens. I couldn't see beyond my disappointment. But nothing can separate me from You, except myself.

For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers, or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
Romans 8:38-9 BBE

Lord, bring me anything that brings You glory, rain or shine. I pray that I'll be able to give you glory whatever comes.
