the rain outside comforts me again
cause the raindrops tonight are my only friend
cause again I have no one to turn to tonight
so I will get upon my knees and let God make it all right
where do the raindrops end, where do my tears begin
and why does it seem that these dark days have no end
as I listen to the rain I feel God's arms open wide
so I run to his arms and in his embrace I hide
Chorus
Oh, God no one knew but you
all the pain that I held inside
oh God, no one counted my tears
but you memorized every one
and gave each one a name
and then wiped them all away
sunny days never seemed to last
and I would find myself longing for the past
and I spent many sleepless nights counting tears instead of sheep
sinking into a pain that seemed like it was way too deep
I would close my eyes and imagine how much God loved me
and it would make me smile for a little while on my knees
and some days I found myself searching for that rain
that had comforted me so many nights and washed away the pain
chorus
the rain played me a lullaby at night
while God held me in his arms so tight
and it was the only place
that I would feel safe
chorus
