Standing In The Rain

You see the headlines, I see broken souls Running through the darkness, trying to fill the holes Building up their kingdoms, watching them decay Searching for tomorrow while throwing hope away I don't hear the shouting the way the world believes Beneath the pride and anger, I hear hearts that grieve Every scar and failure, every hidden shame People reaching for the light but never knowing His name What I see is mercy standing in the rain Calling through the sorrow, calling through the pain What I see is Jesus with His arms still open wide Waiting by the roadside while the lost keep passing by What I see are children wandering far from home Trying to carry burdens they were never meant to hold And every tear reminds me why You came to set us free That's what I see Sometimes it breaks my spirit, sometimes I can't speak Watching countless people search for strength while growing weak And I would trade a thousand dreams, a thousand earthly things Just to see one weary heart discover Heaven's King Sometimes my heart feels weary, not able to even speak When I see the lives so broken, while waiting at Jesus feet But rising up within me, is the joy of love untold Because I see those broken lives, have finally come on home The cross a sign of mercy, love not weak but strong It was raised for all the ones who knew that they were wrong For the wounded and the hopeless, for the desperate and the blind For every soul still searching, for every heart like mine What I see is mercy standing in the rain Calling through the sorrow, calling through the pain What I see is Jesus with His arms still open wide Waiting by the roadside while the lost keep passing by And though the night is falling, hope is still alive Love is still pursuing every heart tonight Until the day we see Him, this prayer will always be Lord, let them see what You have shown to me
