[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

Roll with me

[Verse 1]

If you can't stand the rain like New Edition

Then maybe you don't want to live the life of a Christian

Can I be real? This life is hard living

If we try to live it on our own, we keep slipping

That's why living's supposed to be Christ and death game

But forget about the rain

I'm trying to cope with the pain

Of cats knowing what's right but still living foul

Of men in the ministry constantly on the prowl

Saved men creeping, quoting scripture then sleeping

Yo, it's appalling so the rain keeps falling

We wet with the elements

God's trying to grab us by the heart so we can settle it

We don't know who we messing with

He is a God that can thunderclap and shake the planet

When you can't go another mile, yo, he'll say I ran it

Christ's got your back anytime you really need him

We'd rather thug it than deny a lie and try to cheat him

We can't beat him, we need to get up in his corner

Yo, he is the champion but well acquainted with the mortar

That mean he feels your pain and if you let him, he'll do one better

Just gotta ask and he'll be your umbrella

[Chorus]

I hear the crystal rain drops fall

And the beauty of it all

Is when the sun comes shining through

Good things come to those who wait

Not those who wait too late

I wanna spend my life with you

I hear the crystal rain drops fall

In the window down the hall

And once you hear it, the streets gonna call

Good things come to those who wait

Not those who wait too late

I wanna spend my life with you

[Verse 2]

Standing in the thaw of the rain, not in the game

One more stain to say and the pain still remains

To make me feel like I'm blowing away like Coltrane

The storm made like a 2004 hurricane

I still got the words of my youth in the brain

Can't let what I've learned go down the drain

While my praying I don't end up like Kurt Cobain

Then one day I'm feeling no hurt and no shame

Now I can breathe again and see again

I'm free again. You better believe it, man

Love God, hate sin

The Holy Spirit blocks the rain drops so I can commune with him

I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

So I keep my head up and always stay praying

What we've been through it all, we're still together

So let it rain to Christ. He can handle the weather

[Chorus]

I hear the crystal rain drops fall

And the beauty of it all

Is when the sun comes shining through

Good things come to those who wait

Not those who wait too late

I wanna spend my life with you

I hear the crystal rain drops fall

In the window down the hall

And once you hear it, the streets gonna call

Good things come to those who wait

Not those who wait too late

I wanna spend my life with you

[Verse 3]

There's been days I've gone by feeling without hope

Thoughts have frustrated, my mind hangs from a rope

Has my walk been designed like a theme park slope?

Within the scope of deception I sit to cope

These last couple years, son, shown that I can lose

Battle after battle, bruised within the bruise

This should be Gino singing the blues

Whispers in my ear telling me you can't lose

Depend on Jesus, Son of the Almighty

Give faith for the faith not to be taken lightly

Favor and grace for all Christ-like men

Who feel that the time has come, gone and went

[Outro]

Rain days

Rain days
