"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me."
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me."
I guess our rainy day reminded me of this song---along with a couple of friends who shared their tears with me this morning. We all have our times of "the blues", as the songs says. And though I'm not sure if the writer of the song is a Christian, he had one thing right: We don't have to worry, 'cause we are free!
Those times we find ourselves in the valley of despair, we can still know that...in CHRIST...we do not have to fear. He died for us to set us FREE!!! Free from the burden of sin, free from anxiety, free from fear of the unknown future.
We might not always find "happiness" in our circumstances---as the song indicates. But we KNOW that the JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
