Gospel Rain
words and music by Mitch McVicker and Rich Mullins

       G                         C          
Your word is plain as the nose upon my face
         G                         C      
And it will remain when all else fades away
            Em                    C                          D
And in the midst of change there's one thing that stays the same
           G                       C      
So I walk by faith though I'm scared to even hope
           G                     C        
That I can learn to love as my heart unfolds
         Em                    D            
But sometimes I just need an angel
        C               D                 
To tell me not to be afraid



Chorus
Em              G                    C      
>From out of nowhere from out of the blue
                   D                       Em
These clouds like holy prophets groan and move
        G                 C               
On the winds of love and rage
Em                G                      C  
So come Lord and wash me clean in your psalm
             D                    Em       
Until it sinks deep down into my bones
       G                 C                
As I stand in the gentle fall
               G                         
Of the gospel rain


           G                             C           
And every leaf that falls is a kind of burning bush
           G                     C                   
And I can hear your call when I stop to look
         Em                         D                 
You tell me you're there whatever happens
        C                            D               
And I hear the trees clappin' their hands



Chorus
(capo 2nd fret for key change)

          G                       C                  
And the word you speak is in the air I breathe
        G                      C              D         
It reaches deep and somethin' moves inside of me



Chorus
