my joy, my hope, my strength

The Spirit That She Called To Start What Can't Be Found, originally uploaded by Eric Rolph.

Bring the Rain, by MercyMe.
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, what's a little rain?
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the lord God almighty
Is the lord God almighty

I didn't think I'd find a song which sings more of what I've been praying now than this. And it amuses me to think that it was after I spent time praying through exactly what the song is singing that I happened to chance upon the video whilst browsing through other things.

There is always always always God's promise of a rainbow at the end of the stormy day.
