Analysis of Rain
Kenneth R. Jenkins 1961 (Augusta, GA)
Shower me
Wash me clean
Let your rain shower me
Wash me redeem
My soul so I be made whole
Once more
And more
And once more be clean.
Let it rain
Let it pour out on me
Let it rain
Let it drench my very soul
Clean up anything that's not clean
Once more
And once more be clean.
Make me whole
Make me whole again
Within me inside out
Make me whole
In my life let it be pleasing
To You so that
Once more
And once more be clean.
Shower me
Wash me clean
Let your rain shower me...
