It has been a long time since I have had a song make me cry from the moment I started listening. A lot of the songs that make me cry and just feel so much closer to Jesus are sung by this group.

On the way to work today I really listened to this song and it just pierced my heart. Oh Jesus to be closer to you I would go through this all over again, every second is worth it, even when I don't understand. I would do it again to be closer to Him...nothing compares to it...not...one...thing.

Bring the Rain
Mercy Me

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 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
Is the Lord God Almighty

May we all live to understand that the goal is to be like Jesus so we can ALL be with Jesus.
