Lyrics
Pour
On the outside I am trying to pretend that I'm okay.
On the inside I am screaming. God, please make it go away.
On the outside I am trying to pretend I understand.
On the inside I am fighting to remember there's a plan.
On the outside rain is falling and I'm standing here alone.
On the inside You are calling, "I will not let you go."
So let it pour,
Let it pour.
Pull me closer than I've ever been before.
Let it pour,
Just let it pour.
I wanna be closer than I've ever been before.
On the outside I am trying to pretend I like the rain.
On the inside I am crying. Help me make it through this pain.
On the outside I am trying to pretend I'm well-informed.
On the inside I am fighting to hear You over the storm.
On the outside falling water is melting solid land.
On the inside, somewhere deep down, I know I am in Your hands.
So let it pour,
Let it pour.
Pull me closer than I've ever been before.
Let it pour,
Just let it pour.
I wanna be closer than I've ever been before.
You are God.
You're big enough
To hold my fears,
To hold my tears.
I'm so small,
Still You let me fall
Into Your arms,
Your loving arms.
You are God.
You're big enough
To hold me up,
You hold me up.
I'm so small,
Still, when I fall,
You lift me up,
You lift me up.
You are God.
You love me and
You have a plan,
You have a plan.
I'm so small,
Still You said
You'd help me stand,
You help me stand.
So let it pour,
Let it pour.
Pull me closer than I've ever been before.
Let it pour,
Just let it pour.
I wanna be closer than I've ever been before.
So let it pour,
Let it pour.
Pull me closer than I've ever been before.
Let it pour,
Just let it pour.
I wanna be closer than I've ever been before.
You are God.
You are God.
You are God,
So let it pour.
You are God.
You are God.
You are God,
So let it pour.
Let it pour.
I wanna be closer
To You.
You said, "I will not let you go."
Closer, closer
To You.
On the outside I am trying to pretend that I'm okay.
