Song Squawk – I Miss the Rain

In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.

(What did you say?  Huh?  Can  you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)

I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.

The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.

To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.

Occassionaly I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!

I Miss the Rain – by Bride

There’s a place I’d like to go back to
Time seems to stand still
We ran wild, we had no cares
Take me back to that place
I wish there was a door that I could walk right through
To escape this life
I want to go back to what we had,
Times were better then

I miss the rain, I miss the rain
My heart’s been dry like the tear in my eye
I’ve been hurting for you again
I miss the rain, I miss the rain
My heart’s been dry like the tear in my eye
And the pain that I feel, lord I miss the rain

It keeps me young when I remember
In my mind the past still lives
I’ve held on to every thought,
It keeps me so alive
The future holds nothing for me
If I can’t hold you
I used to try and change the world,
Now I change a little for myself

I know there are those who are far sadder than I
They lost things they can’t replace
Like the beauty in their eyes
But through it all one thing is constant and remains
The love of God erases all my pain

Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
