Cloud of Rain

In this life trials and suffering happens. It comes in many different forms. One of those forms is the death of a loved one. Death is a hard concept for us to swallow. Tears flow freely and sometimes the sadness is overwhelming. To grieve as a Christian is an act of worship because it is a statement of faith that one day things will not be this way. One day things will be made right. Its in moments of pain and sadness that God reminds us that he is there and that he has and will always be there. He is the God of all comfort. Jesus knows pain. He knew the resurrection was coming, and yet he still cried out to his father in anguish, expressed pain and cried out for help.


2 Corinthians 1:3 
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ our comfort also overflows. 

I wrote the lyrics to this song and had help with the composition from my good friend Gabby. I wrote the lyrics a few years ago during a time of death and grieving. I think that it correlates really well with the truth of a heart yearning for the only thing that truly upholds and sustains. And that is God.


Cloud of Rain : McKenna Farren & Gabby Reis 

Verse 1:

My mind is going round in circles  

Every heart breaking instance     

But you lord are compassionate   

Waves of torrent toss and turn me 

But my heart wants you

Oh my heart wants you 

Chorus:

I see you through the darkness

Shimmering through a cloud of rain 

Even in my weakness

 Oh God, you reign

Verse 2:

The stuffiness of sorrow cannot hold me from you,

Hearts are dripping full of hope

Coming straight from you
