Peterson, Andrew - The Rain Keeps Falling Lyrics






I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark
I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark
To light up all the pain that remained in my heart
And the rain kept falling

Down on the roof of the church where I cried
I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried
To get up and get out but a part of me died
And the rain kept falling down

Well I'm scared if I open myself to be known
I'll be seen and despised and be left all alone
So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone
And the rain keeps falling

Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky
But I'm dying in North Carolina and I
Can't believe there's and end to this season of night
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light
My children are there and they love me in spite
Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes
And the rain keeps falling

I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the rote
I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote
But it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

Peace, be still
Peace, be still

My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
And every day now we've been watching the earth
For a sign that this death will give way to a birth
And the rain keeps falling

Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid
And the secret of life is igniting the grave
And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait
And the rain is falling

Peace, be still
Peace, be still

(Peace, be still)
I just want to be new again
(Peace, be still)
I just want to be closer to You again
(Peace, be still)
Lord, I can't find the song
I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong
(Peace, be still)
Help me be brave tonight
Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight
(Peace, be still)
I've been calling and calling
This rain just keeps falling
(Peace, be still)
I've been calling and calling
But this rain just keeps falling and falling
(Peace, be still)
Is it You
Is it You
(Peace, be still)
Is it true
Is it You
(Peace, peace)

  1. M.... W....

    This is powerful.

  2. R.... a....

    'Thank God, someone understands'. Yes, of course Christ Himself understands, but it's worth running the race with someone who sympathizes.
    The melody is simple, but it only adds weight to the beautifully truthful lyrics that I'm sure all of us can relate to. Along with the rain falls drops of light in the form of God's blessings.

  3. M.... W....

    Peterson's honest is so refreshing. Truth isn't always pretty, but beauty is birthed in it.

  4. B.... i....

    Well... I love rainy, stormy, pouring days so it's perfectly perfect to me Thanks Lord Jesus, God of Armies 😃❤🙏🙇

  5. H.... R....

    I don't understand how songs can touch the soul. I wish I knew what pain inspired this song -- the sorrow sure comes through, and it soothes me as I go through "the valley of the shadow of death" with my wife.

    H.... R....

    Praying for you to continue to trust that Jesus holds you fast.

  6. J.... T....

    So.... true.

  7. c.... ....

    "I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote but it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note... "the songwriter surrendering to the Truth and letting the Creator wash it, water it and grow it...and the rain keeps falling down.

  8. 6.... ....

    I publicly admit and recognize that I was mercifully given this song by Christ as relief and divine sustaining during a very severe Dark Night of the Soul that lasted several months. God is our faithful Deliverer, now and forever. To Him alone be the glory and adoration!

  9. B.... d....

    Andrew,
    Nearly every syllable speaks to my current bio. The Only answer to my mind is that our God listens to our pathos and tailors His response accordingly. I'm referring to the Father of all Compassion.

  10. A.... G....

    What a truth this song reveals. When i get quiet i hear what God wants for me; peace, His peace. All is well in my soul. Now.

  11. P.... W....

    I know exactly how this feels.

  12. T.... K....

    Lord, I can't find the song. I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong.
    Help me be brave tonight. Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight.

  13. L.... P....

    Is Ellie Holcombe singing back-up?

    L.... P....

    I am so glad you asked that! I was wondering the same thing. Such a beautiful combination of musicians!

    L.... P....

    no its his daughter Skye

  14. g.... ....

    I don't think there is true peace on this side of the grave...

    g.... ....

    greenbeagle13 - not in this world - only with Jesus.

    g.... ....

    Love your profile pic. Anyway. There is true peace, but it's constantly in need of new faith, and new hope. Jesus does give that kind of security. Because we know we will eventually be with him. Paul had that kind of faith, peace and joy.

    g.... ....

    @Archynan yes that is true; however, as we read Habbakuk, we discover another reality that many saints experience.

  15. R.... ....

    I first heard this song at a concert Andrew held last year in Ohio. The audience sang the "Peace, be still" portion. It was exactly what I needed at the time; I cried so hard, I was going through such a rough time. It's a little hard to listen to this song even now because me of that time, but it's so beautiful and vulnerable and honest. I wish I had a version with that audience singing to listen to; that was so powerful. Thanks for writing this, Andrew.

    Riverfox237 Not sure if this is it: https://youtu.be/cy3gVsR_Fao

    That version is beautiful -- thanks so much for the link! :D <3

  16. M.... S....

    this transparency is so needed. So many hurting people that need The Lord and the love of His people!

  17. K.... J....

    Again thank you for yet another song that touches my soul.  I'm in the dark right now, the season of fall my life and I'm not a happy saint.  I know that I am a restless sinner with no place to hide and no place to go except to Him.  I just need to remember the words to this song and to have faith that despite the way I feel His light is beckoning me to come home to Him. He is my Peace, my Hope and always my Courage to face yet another day.

    K.... J....

    Amen. Praying for you. I love Andrew Peterson's honesty, that allows us to admit that sometimes the rain keeps falling - but to trust that it's growing something in us as well.

    K.... J....

    "Peace... Be still..."

  18. C.... G....

    This is a beautiful description of how I feel right now. I can even see the tiredness in my wife's eyes, and more than once she has mentioned about it being a rough week. Thank you, Andrew, for putting into words the pain and hope of our souls.

  19. E.... M....

    The deep and honest lyrics here are unusual for worship songs that more typically discharge a shouting enthusiastic euphoria. Thank you, Mr Peterson for reminding us that there are seasons of the soul that are dark and discouraging. Thank you also for showing us that we can take our disappointment to the One who created and controls both darkness and light.

    E.... M....

    And this man sung my whole heart....I am even in North Carolina

    E.... M....

    @M. Leanna Peterkin so am I. And he puts in words and music what our hearts desire to Express and be heard.

  20. r.... ....

    This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    +rejoicemultimediaimages Thanks - it was great to get this footage that fit the song so well.
