Lyrics

Sitting by my fireplace, there's a tear in my eye
I can't help wondering all those reasons why
Our special friendship, the one that we employed
When I came to know You then, my heart was overjoyed
Sitting in my bedroom, thinking of years gone by
Still I'm wondering, but all I can do is cry, why?

Come to my rescue, I need Your aid
Reach out and hold me tight so I do not slip away
I need Your gentle touch, I need the warmth of Your love
The rain is pourin' down, and push has turned to shove

Staring at the ceiling, as scenes of life go by
Though it seems like a movie, my emotions I cannot defy
I turn on the TV, doctors are on the news
They say that suicide is up, and they express their view

Come to my rescue, I need Your aid
Reach out and hold me tight
'Cause, Lord, I am afraid
I need Your healing touch, I need the warmth of Your love
The rain is pourin' down, and push has turned to shove

I want to come to You, know Your love again
I bow my head and pray, then I say amen
And You will say to me, "Where have you been?"
And then I will reply, "The world is not my friend"
And I will run to You with the autumn breeze
My love will spread its wings and soar above the trees

I open a window and listen to the rain
It sounds just like Your voice, and it soothes the pain
