own righteousness, imagining
themselves to be rich and increased
with goods and in need of nothing,

46. Flower In The Rain
You are the one, there's no one
else
Who lifts me up and gives me
water from the well
But there's a hole that seems to
drain it all away
And once again I'm left in fear
and doubts
When all my strength is crying
out
47. Flower In The Rain
So here I am again
Willing to be opened up and
broken
Like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do
To die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain
Like a flower in the rain
48. Flower In The Rain
The evil wind it blows a storm
to rock my world
Just when I think I'm safe and
warm
I'm led astray far too easily
It's always hard for me to say
I'm wrong
Until I know I can't go on
49. Flower In The Rain
So here I am again
Willing to be opened up and
broken
Like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do
To die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain
Like a flower in the rain
50. Flower In The Rain
Lord, You have searched me
And know when I sleep and
when I rise
You're familiar with all my ways
Even the darkness will shine like
the day
When you look into my heart
51. Flower In The Rain
So here I am again
Willing to be opened up and
broken
Like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do
To die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain
Like a flower in the rain
