Prayers Were Raised For Rain

They were driving newly married in the blistering summer heat A pastor and his wife on the long road to Missouri Relocating from North Carolina, it’s a 12 plus hour drive They turned back to leave the dog ‘cause she might not make the trip alive Prayers were raised for rain In the middle of the trials and the pain Prayers were raised for rain Lord, please send down help again The vehicle that they were driving had almost 300,000 miles The ac just went out and two windows had been stuck shut awhile The driver’s window worked, but the one behind was stuck open They were both doing their very best to keep on keep on hopin’ Prayers were raised for rain In the middle of the trials and the pain Prayers were raised for rain Lord, please send down help again Well they dropped the dog with family and then hit the road again And they traveled on the road down the same place that they had been The car cabin was so hot and the heat kept going up The water bottles had turned hot, the ice all melted in their cups Prayers were raised for rain In the middle of the trials and the pain Prayers were raised for rain Lord, please send down help again Well, they kept on pressing onward and somewhere in Tennessee The sunshine soon was hidden and the sky got all cloudy The temperature kept dropping, ‘till it dropped 20 degrees The cooling rain it started falling and it brought with it a breeze Prayers were raised for rain In the middle of the trials and the pain Prayers were raised for rain Lord, thank you for your help again The tears of thanks and gratitude kept falling with the rain God sees our every need and hears and answers once again He loves us and is faithful and sends help to meet our need He is our loving Father so let’s all praise Him indeed Prayers were raised for rain In the middle of the trials and the pain Prayers were raised for rain Lord, thank you for your help again
