Gospel Rain
words and music by Mitch McVicker and Rich Mullins
G C
Your word is plain as the nose upon my face
G C
And it will remain when all else fades away
Em C D
And in the midst of change there's one thing that stays the same
G C
So I walk by faith though I'm scared to even hope
G C
That I can learn to love as my heart unfolds
Em D
But sometimes I just need an angel
C D
To tell me not to be afraid
Chorus
Em G C
>From out of nowhere from out of the blue
D Em
These clouds like holy prophets groan and move
G C
On the winds of love and rage
Em G C
So come Lord and wash me clean in your psalm
D Em
Until it sinks deep down into my bones
G C
As I stand in the gentle fall
G
Of the gospel rain
G C
And every leaf that falls is a kind of burning bush
G C
And I can hear your call when I stop to look
Em D
You tell me you're there whatever happens
C D
And I hear the trees clappin' their hands
Chorus
(capo 2nd fret for key change)
G C
And the word you speak is in the air I breathe
G C D
It reaches deep and somethin' moves inside of me
Chorus
