Storms
by Josiah Williams, Kay Sade

Album: Thoughts in the Shadows

Verse 1: Josiah Williams
I am afraid
I'm in a house, but I feel like I'm living inside of cave
And 'they 'always said, since 'I am a man, that I 'should be brave
I know there's a sun behind all the clouds, but where are the rays?
A couple of drops, but I feel like it's coming down in a wave
I've fallen below, yeah, I've sunken
Maybe it's cause I hear the noise, and I don't heed your instruction
Maybe it's cause I want my way, that's why I seem so reluctant
To receive all the substance
Joy and peace in abundance
I see the lightning flashing
I get a bad reaction
Gotta get past it
Wonder how long will it last
It takes it and kicks it and jabs it
Maybe that's drastic, I know
I was told I should pray when nobody's there to check me
And, Lord, you'd be there to help redirect me

Bridge: Josiah Williams
Know I'm safe in your hands
Know I'm safe in your keeping
Know at times I'm in pieces
You lift me out of my weakness
And even in these storms that keep my body from sleeping
I share a thought, when I speak it
I know you're there to receive it

Hook: Josiah Williams
Let it rain down
Let it rain down
Let it rain down
Let it rain, let it rain

Verse 2: Kay Sade
Let it rain down
I'm walking the city and noticing
I don't see a single smile on their faces
And I cannot talk, I do not smile less I'm laughing
But funniest thing is
We got it together, we climbing a ladder
And tell them move out of my lane"
So eager to be at the top of the mountain
Where lightning will blow you away
I looked for the storm with a sense of adventure
But what did I prove?
I'm a lightweight, I rely on God
Holding on in a typhoon
Cause water can save and water can doom
3:21, 7:22, you're never ready when it's headed for you
Look, I appreciate you thinking of me
In the warm comfort of your homes
Knowing only what you see when the day breaks
At the end of a storm, but
Thankfully I have a Shelter who covers me as I follow His Son
When no one wants to come out in the rain
The Lord'll say so it's got to be done
Right on time, some got scared
Made a run with it, yeah
Some lost hope, hope they know
You ain't done with it, nah
Some got doubt, some sound right
Prove them wrong with it yeah
I know it's out of my control
But You're in control of my soul and so overnight if it
Rains down

Hook: Kay Sade
Let it rain down
Let it rain down
Let it rain down
Let it rain, let it rain

Bridge: Josiah Williams
I Know I'm safe in your hands
Know I'm safe in your keeping
Know at times I'm in pieces
You lift me out of my weakness
And even in these storms that keep my body from sleeping
I share a thought, when I speak it
I know you're there to receive it

Verse 3: Josiah Williams
I see those black clouds there, I see they hover like so
And they might cover that sun, but they can't shudder my soul
They try to intimidate with a thunderbreak, but I'm stuck on my goal
So it might get a little loud, but I only hear what I know
You're my shelter, my shade
On those imperfect days
Take my hand when it's dark
Know that I'll find the way
Jesus Christ, say the name
In this night, not afraid
Cause I know that you surround me
You're around when it rains
So, let it rain down
