Got up early yesterday, felt the peace of God just slip away,
Things went from bad to worse; it doesn't look much brighter today,
Then I start to remember what my father used to say,
He said, "Take heart, son, you gotta be strong."
Heaven won't stop the rain from falling,
We all gotta make our way to the sun,
When we stand up to the thunder, that's how the victory's won,
And Jesus did the same when Heaven wouldn't stop the rain,
So we fight in Jesus' name when Heaven won't stop the rain.
People come and people go, but Jesus loves forever - this I know,
I've been hurt one thousand times, but through it all I've never been alone,
So, when the storm comes raging, I'll remember what to do: I just wait for the fire to burn on through.
Heaven won't stop the rain from falling,
We all gotta make our way to the sun,
When we stand up to the thunder, that's how the victory's won,
And Jesus did the same when Heaven wouldn't stop the rain,
So we fight in Jesus' name when Heaven won't stop the rain.
Walk to the Son through the rain,
Walk 'til the sun will shine again,
Walk to the Son through the rain,
Walk 'til the sun will shine again.
Heaven won't stop the rain from falling,
We all gotta make our way to the sun,
When we stand up to the thunder, that's how the victory's won,
And Jesus did the same when Heaven wouldn't stop the rain,
So we fight in Jesus' name when Heaven won't stop the rain.
When Heaven won't stop the rain,
When Heaven won't stop the rain,
When Heaven won't stop the rain,
When Heaven won't stop the rain,
