"Dancing in the Rain" - October 24, 2009

"Dancing in the Rain" (Lyrics)

Just the other night we were dancing in the rain
And it seemed just like the natural thing
But it's amazing how a good night's sleep
Can wake you up and put your heart under
control of your brain
Now it seems in spite of self-convincing spoken
"I love you's"God's giving me a love that is real
And I don't want to be the one to mess this up,
baby It's got nothing to do with the way
that we feel

So let's not fatten ourselves,
become passion's gluttons
For the simple little pleasures, girl
we push each other's buttons
And we sell ourselves short
of the promise of the one who truly loves

In the name of love so many lose
what they can't get back
And though I may someday give myself to you
What I will give is what's in question
and if purity I lack
What I give is nothing more than once removed
So I won't dance you, sweet romance you
Try to control your heart with beautiful words
'Cause if what we want is all that's said
And we say it all the time
Then what we really need to hear cannot be heard

So let's not fatten ourselves
on the bread of the flesh
We both know there's so much more
Love is manifest in us not through
expression of our lust
But through sacrificing self, whatever for

Lady, I'm not lacking in compassion for you
And I hope that you can understand
That I just want to TRULY, WHOLLY, HOLY hold you
For the first time with a ring on your hand

So let's not fatten ourselves
become passion's gluttons
For the simple little pleasures, girl
we push each other's buttons
And we sell ourselves short of the promise
of the one who truly loves

Just the other night we were dancing in the rain
But now it's morning, let's go bask in the Son
