Hold Me In The Rain
On earth, as it is in heaven
I feel the sweet taste of sin
The sting of death in mortal men
Release me from the claws of pain
Anoint thy flesh in holy rain
Engage the spirit in song and dance
Cleanse the heart and take the chance
Quench the flame and end thy thirst
A burst of rain the soul immersed
Release me from the claws of pain
Then, you hold me in the rain
This I know, you help me grow
