Good Music

Yesterday I uploaded a bunch of church music to my Zune.  I figured I could listen to it when I was driving to and from work.  I seriously underestimated the power that this kind of music has!  Many of these albums I have are things that I used to listen to many years ago.  I still know all the words but they have different meaing to me now that I am a wife and mother.  This morning I was listening to the album Women of Destiny and this song brought me to tears.  It feels very applicable to what is going on in my life right now but it also reminds me of why thing happen.  I'm grateful that I was able to hear this message this morning.  It is what I needed.

She sees the storm clouds gather
The sky is turning cold and gray
She knows that somethings coming
when she starts to feel this way

She pleads for intervention
But heaven offers no relief
she would understand if she could only see

Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm
to lead a heart where it can grow

He can move mountains of grief
and oceans of pain.
But sometimes he lets it rain.

When her heart surrenders
to the master in control
Her spirit learns the lessons
and the tempest in her soul

when it's no longer raging
She can see how far she's come
through the wisdom and
the mercy of the Son

Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm to
lead a heart where it can grow

he can move mountains of grief
and oceans of pain
but sometimes He lets it rain.
There is no joy without the pain
Sometimes He has to let it rain.
