Even in the Misery

Thank you for the rain....Thank you for the misery

Thank you for the pain....and everything you did for me

All I see, all I hear, all I feel from deep inside

all I know, in spite of me, upon that cross you died

So bring on the pain.....

bring on the pain

with you... I... can.... handle it

with you.... I... am... the man for it

through every quicksand pit

All my life you have prepared me for

this life; I can't wait to see what's in store

I know this won't be easy

I know this won't be smooth

and even though all things won't please me

on this journey I begin to move

Misunderstood and maybe despised

Feel the breath on my neck, the stare of all those eyes

But it won't stop me when I fall on my face

I won't give up, I keep running this race

So bring on the misery...

yes please bring on the misery

cuz with you it so plausible

cuz with you it is so possible

to imagine victory...

This valley that I am in, might seam like it is the end

But if I focus on your love, up this mountain I can begin

Every time I tumble and start to roll, I reach for the vine and grab hold

Keep me headed straight on towards your unbelievable mercy and grace

Even when things got me down and those bad thoughts start giving chase

when the ivy starts to entangle and drag me off my path

when the poison begins to spread and distracts me from my task

Thank you for the rain....Thank you for the misery

Thank you for the pain....and everything you did for me

Help me to express my gratitude

Help me to change my attitude

Help me to see the latitude you've given me to live

Knowing you are there and have given me all I have

all the good in my life, why must I be surprised by the bad

This life ain't all honey and sweet as can be, no sugar and spice because you made us all free

To choose our mistakes and be out on our own, to ignore all the symptoms even when they are known.

Thinking we can do better, than the one who was there when He turned the light on

Thinking we are better, than you who came down and spread the light around

So I must surrender to your omnipotence and thank you for every chance

that you even begin to put up with us, it makes me want to dance

even in the rain....even in the misery

even in the pain...because of all you did for me....

because of all you did for me....all the rain....and the misery...turned into gain......and into victory....all you did for me...thank you for your son and all you did for me.

Thank you for the rain....Thank you for the misery

Thank you for the pain....and everything you did for me
