Thank You for the rains, Dear Lord--
for they hide my tears.
Lord, my heart is heavy--
my mind is filled with fears.
The love I thought would last a lifetime--
is here with me no more.
For she left this world, it's pain and sorrow--
and entered Heaven's door.
While I'm certain her homecoming there--
was joyous from the start,
Her passing from this old world--
has surely broken my heart.
I know she is rejoicing--
in Heaven's great hereafter,
But I miss her touch and her smile--
I long to hear her laughter.
My home feels so empty--
there's such a stillness there.
My heart seems to know no peace--
this grief is hard to bear.
When I catch myself feeling
as if I'm starting to enjoy life,
I feel a twinge of guilt tell me--
I should be mourning for my wife.
How long, Oh Lord, will this last--
this emptiness I feel?
Give me strength to press on--
as I seek to do Your Will.
For now, Lord, my heart cries out--
in anguish and in pain,
Grant me grace, Father, and once again--
thank You for the rain...
