about

From the album Shouting In The Storm, but with some crowd noise and the spoken part at the end removed

lyrics

My woman left me, she left me for another man
You know it came as some surprise, it wasn't in my plan
She never told me nothing was wrong, she never gave me a clue
One morning there was a knock on the door, and I found out we were through
And as I stood there with the papers in my hand
I found myself transported into this distant land

Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me

As through this life you ramble, as through this world you roam
You might live in a lot of houses and never find a home
As down the road you wander, and through broken fields you cross
You must never stop believing for all is not lost
And don't you worry 'bout the unfaithful lover and false friend
For the love that you have given them, that's what matters in the end

Dearest father
Help me thine to be
You let the rain fall on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me

Life is complicated, it's very hard to live
I gotta turn my cheek to everything my enemies give
I got a lotta compassion for the sinners and the slaves
I've got an ancient message for those not in their graves
He will cover you with water, he will baptize your pain
If you let his power wash you clean he will soothe your burning brain

Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me

I didn't know you were my father
I thought you were the hanging judge
And when I came into your courtroom
I thought you'd hold a grudge
I thought I was a lowly servant
I didn't know I was a son
And I didn't know you had forgiveness
For everything I might have done

This world is crumbling, your kingdom is at hand
Give me the strength to live a little longer, help me to stand
There's gonna be a collision, this world is a-going fast
The mortgaged future meets a bankrupt past
Change is coming but people are sleeping in their bed
Storm clouds will bring the rain and the moon will turn blood red

Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall on me

Dearest father
Help me thine to be
You let the rain fall on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me

Let it fall
