        Title Song: THROUGH THE RAIN
Related Scripture:(Romans 8:28, 31 & 35-38, 1 Peter 5:7, Phil. 4:6-7)

Lyrics:

Isn't amazing when we find that we're down / spinning in a circle going round and round / Isn't it lonely when fear surrounds / Still He love abounds / Been holding on to long/ Singing that same old song / Gotta just leave it alone / Gonna get through the storm/.

We're walking through the rain / Leaving the past behind / to the sunshine /
We're walking through the rain / Having a change of mind/ Knowing His love devine./We're walking through the rain /We're walking through the rain //

Isn't it crazy when calamity comes/ Turning a corner isn't easily done / Isn't it sad when your heart is numb/ But when we call, He comes/ been holding on too long/ Singing that same old song / Gotta just leave it alone / Gonna get through the storm/.

We're walking through the rain / Leaving the past behind / to the sunshine /
We're walking through the rain / Having a change of mind/ Knowing His love devine./We're walking through the rain /We're walking through the rain //

Bridge: When the strong winds blow / You gotta just walk in faith /  When the clouds hang low / Still run the race / When the rainbow comes / See the glory of the Lord / After the rain is gone / It's so much clearer /so much clearer than before//
We're walking through the rain / Leaving the past behind / to the sunshine /
We're walking through the rain / Having a change of mind / Knowing His love divine/ Walking through the rain /Through the rain //

We're walking through the rain Leaving the past behind / to the sunshine / We're walking through the rain / Having a change of mind / Knowing His love Divine/ ....

We're all on a journey of destiny / That for sure will come to an end / Life is gonna pass with certainty / On this you can depend/

Chorus: What will be your legacy/ Are you known for the good that you've done? / What will be your legacy? / You have once chance to write your story / So what's it gonna be?/ Your legacy//

So often we are living in the moment / Not thinking about this vapor of time / It's time to get your house in order / With the love of God in mind (love of God in mind)/
Time is on your side / still you can decide / what you'll leave behind /God is standing by/ Tell me do you like what you see / Have you been what you wanted to be?/

Chorus: What will be your legacy/ Are you known for the good that you've done? / What will be your legacy? / You have once chance to write your story / So what's it gonna be?/ Your legacy/ And

There's a change coming / A change is coming / There's a change coming / Over me //

There's a change coming (There's a change coming) / A change is coming ( I can feel a change coming over me) / There's a change coming  / over me //
No matter who it is or what they say they can do / The only one to change is nobody but you / Make up in your mind that you are going to stop the wrong / Move along / Start singin' a God song /
There's a change coming / A chance is coming / There's a change coming / over me //

When I wake up in the morning / And I see the light of day / I know just what they're thinking / And I know what they're going to say / The news on the television / Gloom / Doom / and Despair / Another child is taken / And nobody seems to care / But I know SOMEONE/ Who really really truly cares / God Almighty / He declares that my love is....  /

Sometimes in my confusion / I can see what I've become / Persuaded by the lure of this world / Just having fun / But the words of an old time wise man / Play over and over again / I say in my heart this is vanity / I'm chasing after the wind / Well, in God's house / There are many many many mansions / For in a thousand years / everything is His /

More than enough / than fear that paralyzes you / More than enough / Even when demons dare to dance with you (More than enough) / More than enough /  When the pride of life hypnotizes you / More than enough/ Well His grace is / More than enough for you //

But I know SOMEONE/  God Almighty

LA la la la la la, (LA la la la la la).....

There stood an old man / In his eyes a story of woe / He laid his head down on a cold dirt road / then you walked by / And he asked you for some change/ Here was your chance to make a difference / But you looked at him so strange.// /
 
Chorus:  What have you done for the least of these? / A drink for a thirsty man / Fed a child in a desolate land / What have you done for the least of these? / Hove you taken a stranger in?/ Given hope to them again / For the least of these //
 
She is only a child / Forgotten and so weak / No mother or father / So she cries herself to sleep / She calls out to you / For she hopes that you would care / You are blessed beyond belief / Give her comfort in her grief //
 
What have you done for the least of these? / A drink for a thirsty man / Fed a child in a desolate land / What have you done for the least of these? / Hove you taken a stranger in?/ Given hope to them again / For the least of these //
 
Bridge: Whether you share or withhold / In His word we are told / What you have done to the least of these / You've done it unto me / done it unto me ,yeah/
 
What have you done for the least of these? / A drink for a thirsty man / Fed a child in a desolate land / What have you done for the least of these? / Hove you taken a stranger in?/ Given hope to them again / For the least of these //

What have you done for the least of these?   Have you helped a friend in deed / Said a prayer for a friend in need / Have you given up your time / Laid you life on the line / Shared your wealth with the poor / You'll receive so much more......
