Verse 1
The rain was beating on the roof,
My head was in my hands.
The life I thought I’d figured out
Lay scattered with my plans.
I’d left the hallway light turned on,
Though no one would stop by.
I whispered, “God, if You can hear…”
And couldn’t help but cry.
Pre-Chorus
I had no words worth dressing up,
No strength to carry on.
You met me in the trembling
And held me through it all.
Chorus
You heard me through the thunder,
A prayer beneath the rain.
You let me bring the worst of me
And never turned away.
I didn’t have to earn a place
Or hide the hurt You’d see.
I went looking for a shelter;
You came looking for me.
Verse 2
I thought I had to hide the scars
Before I called Your name.
But You reached out with wounded hands
And loved me just the same.
You knew the things I wouldn’t tell,
The years I can’t undo.
You pulled a chair up to the table;
There was room beside You.
Pre-Chorus
The rain was still against the glass,
But I could breathe again.
I stayed and talked to You till dawn,
Then let the daylight in.
Chorus
You heard me through the thunder,
A prayer beneath the rain.
You let me bring the worst of me
And never turned away.
I didn’t have to earn a place
Or hide the hurt You’d see.
I went looking for a shelter;
You came looking for me.
Bridge — building
I’ve started making plans again,
There’s more I want to see.
I catch myself out in the sun
And hear a song in me.
Jesus, where You lead, I’ll follow;
I don’t need to know how far.
And when the thunder wakes me,
I’ll remember where You are.
Final Chorus — full and uplifting
You heard me through the thunder,
A prayer beneath the rain.
You let me bring the worst of me
And never turned away.
I didn’t have to earn a place
Or hide the hurt You’d see.
I went looking for a shelter;
You came looking for me.
Outro — softly
Some nights I leave the hallway light
And sit with You awhile.
The house is quiet. I can rest.
I know I’m still Your child.
