Original words and music by The Rain. This is a single track from the album “Shelter in the Storm” The story behind the album: Our love of complex, meaningful words led us to collect old hymnals filled with the depths of poetic creativity from some of the most empathetic minds in history. With today’s “dumbing down” of words and meaning, we longed to have an avenue of preserving the beauty and depths of the messages contained in some of our old, favorite hymns, while breathing new life into the ...

As some of you know, we wrote a book not too long ago called “Here I Stand.” We wanted to share the truth that the Bible and the Bible only should be the standard of the true Christian faith, not traditions or man’s contradicting explanation of what God has plainly said. We were so inspired by the true-life stories of so many we read about and interviewed we compiled their testimonies into a true-to-life story about standing for the truth, no matter what the cost. “Behold, He cometh with clouds,...

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, he doth judge and makes war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his...

When Paul wrote his second letter to the church in Thessalonica it was in a very dangerous time for the young church. Persecution against the new Christian believers following the risen Christ was strong. They were in hiding a great deal. They were the underground church, hunted and killed freely. In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul describes the time In which they were living like this: “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persec...

We have always liked the feeling and hearing the natural rhythm that exists in Scripture. No matter what language it’s written in, there is music and pentameter throughout inspired writing. “Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.” Support the show

Teach Us To Pray “And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, ...

The Battle Hymn of the Republic has been the most iconic song of victory over slavery in the history of songs. Signifying strength, and triumph, it inspires unity and patriotism as it makes our hearts proud of the amazing country that spawned and shelters freedom and justice. Isn’t it fitting that God’s remnant should take solace in its timeless message? We hope you enjoy this re-imagined and augmented theme by The Rain. “Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also ...

One particularly late and dark night as we were going through a very dark trial we felt was going to end our lives without receiving God’s promise Nick went to the piano and began singing this new song, writing it down as the words and music came all in one hour. We felt courage return as God ministered to our hearts in the words and music he sent. We pray that you feel the same courage return as you listen to “Freedom”. “Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also ...

There is little to compare with that terrible sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know that you have done wrong, that the consequences of your actions are irreparable, that others are going to suffer immeasurable loss and damage because of your willful or accidental indiscretion. In that fateful moment when the realization that the timeline of your life and others’ lives will be forever changed because of your actions is indelibly etched into your mind forever. Living with this k...

A Bit About The Song… I Will Sing Of My Redeemer This beautiful song was written by Philip Paul Bliss In the 1800s. He was converted at a Revival meeting at age 12 while he was working on farms and in lumber camps and trying to finish his schooling. At a young age, his vocal talents were recognized and he was encouraged to become a music teacher. At age 22, He became an itinerant music teacher, going house-to-house on horseback in the winter. Not long afterward, the Normal Academy of Music was...

A Bit About The Song… Nearer My God to Thee This hymn is probably most widely known for reportedly being the last musical piece the band on the sinking Titanic played before the boat tragically crashed into the sea in April 1912. The report was not able to be confirmed by eyewitnesses whose testimony were conflicting, however, Wallace Hartley, the ship’s bandleader who died when the ship sank along with all of the other musicians on board, was known to have liked the hymn very much and had even ...

A Bit About The Song… Take the world but give me Jesus This striking him was written by the amazing Fanny Crosby in the eighteen hundreds. At the age of 6 weeks, old Fanny Crosby lost her eyesight by a mistake from a careless physician during an illness. She never remembered being able to see, yet at the age of eight, her very first poem expressed exactly how she felt about her misfortune. “It has been the motto of my life,” she said. “O what a happy soul am I! Although I cannot see. I am resolv...

A Bit About The Song… My Faith Looks Up To Thee This well-known hymn was written by Ray Palmer, considered to be one of America’s best-known hymn writers from the 1800s. The creative process brings us very close to the Creator. Anyone who paints or writes music or poetry or stories can attest that sometimes they take time. Other times it is as if another spirit is pouring through us something special, something otherworldly. When Ray Palmer wrote this hymn he was fresh from college. It was 1830....
