They knew better than she did
Just who he was
Covered in blood now
Too late Annie knew now too
So to the temple she flew
To hide to sing and pray and wait
Her loving King would eventually decide her fate
They pursued her
They caught her
She should have known better
She didn't stand a chance
The plot was well laid
She was unaware and unprepared
And now lonely wounded and scared
Her heart full of terror full of fear full of dread
To the refuge she fled
To the shelter from the storm
To wait and wail and mourn
Until one day
The sacrifice
Atonement is made
Her record expunged
By the blood of the One who would die in her place
The One who bought her defiled soul
And by his love makes her whole
Rescued from the devil's hold
Until then she must sing
Until then she will sing
Until tomorrow she will mourn and wonder why
So many chances
So many warnings ignored
So many rebukes
Her heart as hard as stone
Now consequences surround her like iron bars of a cage
Sheltered forever
She will not be afraid
She will sing
She will cry
She learn
She will die
And one day will finally dawn
And she will fly home
She will fly home to the sky
She will fly home to the sky
Oh Annie
Annie
Why
Why
Annie
Why
You were unaware and unprepared
Now lonely wounded and scared
Your heart full of terror and fear and dread
Flee to the refuge
The shelter from the storm
Weep and wail
Mourn
Until one day
The sacrifice
The atonement will be made
Your record expunged
By the blood of the One who would die in your place
Who bought your defiled soul
And rescued from the devil's hold
And makes you whole
Until then
Annie
Sing and cry
Mourn
Sing and cry
And wonder why
So many chances
Warnings ignored
So many rebukes
Your heart hard as stone
Now consequences surround you
Like iron bars of a cage
Here sheltered forever
Do not be afraid
Sing and cry
And learn
For here you will die
And one day
Finally will dawn
And you will fly home to the sky
Hide and pray and wait
Your loving King will not leave you
He will protect you
In the shelter
Annie
Annie
Wait and pray
And wonder why
And learn
For one day you too will die
About Us:
This world is a dry and weary land.
All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.
In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing.
Like the prodigal son and the lost sheep, we have all chosen to leave the safety and security of God's love and favor, enticed by our own lusts and the alluring but empty and deadly deceptions of the enemy of our souls.
We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.
But none have strayed so far that they cannot return.
Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.
He promised He would take you back, always.
We pray the music ministry of The Rain refreshes your dry and weary soul, and opens your heart for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit in these end times.
Love,
Nick and Lauren
