I'm on the inside looking out
And even though my mind's filled with doubt
The direction I need is finally here
I feel there's nothing left for me to fear
So carry me out into the rain
Where heaven cries on an earth of pain
Just a touch of what is holy
Will bring an end to all this folly
Deceit has formed a seed within
And made me wear a crooked grin
I've been searching for a way to ease my pain
So I can find a way to rid this shame
It's a neverending canyon concealed in black
And once you fall in it's hard to get back
The sweet taste is what drew me in
And made me commit all this sin
Light shone down like a rope from above
And I flew out like a pure white dove
I found a taste of something sweeter than before
Dropping to my knees and there standing in the door
Was a man shrouded in white overcast in glory
He gave me his book which held his story
Saying to me to get back on my feet
He opened the door and gave me his tree
Eternal life is for what I prayed
And I'm back on the path from which I had strayed
I never forgot those hearing those words that day
And how they changed me every way
Thank you for giving me a chance I didn't deserve
When you showed me your way and gave me your word
That through you never again will I feel any pain
I thank you dear God for shedding your rain
