How long have you been waiting on a little sun to shine
to take away the night
hold on for you are never alone through the darkest skies
there is a guiding light
for our god is a refuge
where the weary can run and hide
in times of trouble
he'll be the calm in the midst of the storm
'till it passes by
oh, you need to know
(chorus)
there's a shelter in the rain
there's a hope for your tomorrow
there's a cover through the pain
when you're underneath the weather
jesus is the shelter in the rain
Sometimes when hope is hard to find
we've got to walk by faith
until we see the way
hold tight for we are promised in time
those who patiently wait
will never wait in vain
for we know god is faithful
he's a fortress to run into
in times of trouble
he'll cover us with the wings of his love
till we make it through
oh, we got to know
(chorus)
So tell me why, why could you ever run away
from the cover out into the storm
just know in time the rain's gonna bring a brighter day
and the clouds will be gone but while you wait on the lord
