REIGN in me -
Lord, I would be queen of my own heart.
The power - mine; mine the acclaim.
Mine the moat.
I would deny entrance to pain:
No matter that grace is equally denied.
Oh! Be my King
Give me the pain, that I might know grace.
REIN me in -
Lord, I would run wild, untamed.
Without direction, I gallop, I toss my head, I nicker.
I am free.
I am lost.
Ensnared in brambles, lost in a barren place.
Oh! Lead me home!
I welcome the bit, the bridle the reins.
Guide me to water, to rest.
RAIN on me -
Lord, I would dwell in sunshine only
Petals facing the light.
Yet hard-packed is the soil and dry
No room for roots - no room.
Oh - open a cloud!
I embrace each squall, each sleety trial,
Mixed with the drops of sorrow: drops of mercy.
I grasp the moistened earth.
Grant me more storms that I might grow.
