Jewels On My Windshield

It rained for a few minutes tonight on my way home from church and I was captured by how beautiful the raindrops looked on my windshield. They truly sparked on the glass reminding me of jewels. I wish I viewed the "rain" in my life that same way. I am trying to, and my prayer is that one day I will, but as long as Christ receives glory through my life right now, I say...


...bring the rain.

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
