Even when the Rain Falls...

Need to Breathe- Washed By the Water

Daddy was a preacher 

She was his wife 
Just tryin to make the world a little better 
You know, shine a light 
People started talking 
Just to hear their own voice 
Those people tried to accuse my father 
Said he made the wrong choice 
Though it might be painful 
You know that time will always tell 
Those people have long since gone 
My father never failed 
Chorus 
Even when the rain falls 
Even when the flood starts rising 
Even when the storm comes 
I am washed by the water 
Repeat Chorus 
Even when the Earth crumbles under my feet 
Even when the ones I love turn around and crucify me 
I won’t never ever let you down 
I won’t fall 
I won’t fall 
I won’t fall as long as you’re around me 
Chorus 
Even when the rain falls 
Even when the flood starts rising 
Even when the storm comes 
I am washed by the water 




This song is a powerful for me and my family. My Daddy is a preacher, and we had something like that happen at a previous church when I was younger and that was a very tough time for all of us. Accusations that were not substantiated by people were what brought my father down from his position at the church and it was a quick-deep pain for the whole family. It was the church that I grew up in. The only church family that I knew, the church where all of my friends were. This was incredible tough for us.




And so you can see why this song is just amazing at portraying the feelings of my family about that situation. The great thing is to know that Even though the Rain Falls and the floods are rising, I know that MY God is always there, and no one can take that away from me.


Thank You Lord God, that you are always there and have a perfect plan, even if it can hurt sometimes. I know that You will always be there to catch me and save me!
