Rain on Thirsty Ground

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The evening sun is sinking slow Across the fields I've always known I spent so many years alone Thinking love was something I'd outgrown Then you opened up your heart to me And gave me back a reason to believe [Chorus] It's the way you love, Lauren Cheryl Like the rain on thirsty ground Steady as the morning light Never letting me fall down I never knew a love so true Until God sent me you [Verse 2] I'd built my walls up good and high Kept my heart behind a lock and key But you never pushed, you never pried You just stayed and kept on loving me Every gentle word, every quiet touch Showed me I was always worth that much [Chorus] It's the way you love, Lauren Cheryl Like the rain on thirsty ground Steady as the morning light Never letting me fall down I never knew a love so true Until God sent me you [Bridge] You're a gift I never earned A grace I'll never understand Every night I thank the Lord For the comfort of your hand [Verse 3] So when the years turn silver gray And our steps grow soft and slow I'll still be standing by your side It's the safest place I know For the first time in my life I feel A love that's unconditional and real [Chorus] It's the way you love, Lauren Cheryl Like the rain on thirsty ground Steady as the morning light Never letting me fall down With all my heart, I'm loving you Thank God He gave me you [Outro] The first true love I've ever known Was and is with you Lauren Cheryl, my heart is home In the way you love me true
