You Standin' There
(Rich Mullins)
You standing there with your images of how bad life has been to you
Don't even care that the trouble there is not so far removed from you.
Your dreams could all come together now
If you'd pick them up instead of putting yourself down.
You close your eyes to the chance that there might be something of good around
And, there you hide like a refugee in the silence that you have found.
Blinded by being too long in the dark
Now, you can't even see the love that's right there where you are
Love! You know He sends it in the pouring rain
When the sun comes to dry the world again!
Oh, I can never thank Him enough
For sending that sweet, sweet love!
You captured there in the heartless pulse of a god whom you choose to serve.
Hand to the mill and an empty head full of lies and dizzy words.
Sleeping...just escaping the Prince's kiss
That could bring you life that could make you begin to live!
You take a drag on another night and tomorrow you sleep it off.
Keep looking back...it was better then, and tomorrow it could be lost
Senseless and dead to this world of sights
No sound gets in your ear. And, if you feel something it might be....
Love! You know He sends it in the pouring rain
When the sun comes to dry the world again!
Oh, I can never thank Him enough
For sending that sweet, sweet love!
You stand like you have no escape from this big oppression scene.
Well, I can't even relate when there's so much love that I've seen.
I'd help you if I could, but you've got to help yourself to Love...Love.
I'll give you what I got of what you might need to help you...Love....
Love! You know He sends it in the pouring rain
When the sun comes to dry the world again!
Oh, I can never thank Him enough
For sending that sweet, sweet love!
Sending His love...
Sending His love…
Sending that sweet, sweet love!
Sending His love...
Sending His love…
Sending that sweet, sweet love!
