After the rain
When cascading rivulets
Have sluiced their way
There’s nothing left
To be washed away.
After the rain

After the rain
The fresh open sky
Seems to say
Come with me
Into the brand new day?
After the rain

Sometimes it seems that the drought will stay
All seeds of hope dry up in vain
Young men shrink and young girls fade
Sweet Jesus cannot lift the shame
Before the rain

After the rain
Buds push through
Life fills every vein
Their roots stretch out
They live again
After the rain
