“Rain Can’t Reach Us”  by Yannis & The Yaw 

Remixed with Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message) 

In troubled times
Running away from day to day
Low, we’re hiding from the sky

                  Don’t fret or worry.

And rain can’t reach us
Just the fear of the day

Oh Lord, when I see you
The weight I carry goes
And the fear about the day

                  Instead of worrying, pray.

Time will tell
If white horses in the sky
Will come take our eyes
Black tornadoes in the night

                  Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, 

And that weight that I feel
When I fly the field of gold
No trouble up ahead

                  
Oh Lord, when I see you
All the weight I carry goes
And the fear about my day

                  let(ting) God know your concerns.    

                  
I’m all alone
And a veil to carry me home
Will come, see my friends
Under shadows of the pines

                  Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, 

                  everything coming together for good, 

                  will come and settle you down.

And in my time
With protection from the sky
Rain can’t reach me
Or the fear of the day

                  It’s wonderful what happens

Oh Lord, take my weight
Give me a better day to day
Oh Lord, take my weight
Give me a better day to day

                  when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
