Let it Rain.

O God, I know you are the light, but be the rain for me!
Put out the flames of evil, that I've allowed to encamp around me.

I thought it was just a grassfire, in my finite mind.
Now, in the midst of a wildfire I know I'm in a heated bind.

O Lord, I know you are the light, divinely intervene.
Be the rain for me, and put out this fiery scene!!

I admit it was I, that continued to add coals to the fire.
And although I played with matches, living for you was still my innermost desire!!

O God, I know you are the light, and yes, I need you to be the rain for me.
But first and foremost, I ask you to  hear my desperate plea-
"Lord, I ask that you help me to allow your spirit to once again, dwell and reign in me!!"
