Cleansing Rain Original Song by Curtis Wade Collins Santa Cruz VS with LR Baggs Anthem

I had this title for a little bit and finally thought up the story. I remember when I was young the older church folk always blamed SIN on everything bad that happened. So here is a song from what a kid might have thought and a very good ending. Thanks for listening. Please let me know what you think of it. I do appreciate the comments and ratings!!!

Lyrics
Rain's was on top of the prayer list
For months at my hometown church
We've had our share of dry springs
But that year's was the worst

An old man in the pew behind me
Said sinnin's caused this drought
Since I was just a kid back then
I felt like it was all my fault

I told God I was sorry every night that week
And that last night I had one amazing dream

A cleansing rain
Poured from a blue sky
The heaven's opened up and let down Redemption
One drop at a time

It washed away
The dust and the pain
Salvation came on a bright clear sunny day
From a cleansing rain

I woke up that mornin' soakin wet
And thought it was from the rain
But realized it was just the Carolina heat
When Mama called out my name

That day were Baptisms down Black River
And I was gonna be the first in line
The water was barely up to my knee
I guess we got there just in time

Just before the preacher prayed and dipped me in
And said "Lord wash this child of his sins"

A cleansing rain
Poured from a blue sky
The heaven's opened up and let down Redemption
One drop at a time

It washed away
The dust and the pain
Salvation came on a bright clear sunny day
From a cleansing rain

Nothing like the feeling of forgiveness
When it splashes up on your skin

From a Cleansing Rain
A Cleansing Rain
Salvation came on a bright clear sunny day
From a Cleansing Rain

A cleansing rain
Fade
