Jeoffrey was already involved in the Christian music business since the 70s when his son expressed interest in following in his footsteps; their eponymous debut album was released in 1995. Their goal was to show a positive model of the father/son relationship. After their last album release in 1999, the duo disbanded to follow individual careers: Jeoffrey released a self-titled album in 2000 and Aaron is currently a member of the band Dirt Road Hotel.
After the Rain
Aaron Jeoffrey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Button my coat, here comes the storm again
What can I do but to trust in Him
'Cause I know the deeper my faith runs
The stronger I become
And the thunder, it may shake me
But I always know that
After the rain
You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
After the rain
You know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
After the rain
Everyone needs, everyone hurts
Everyone feels the weight of the world sometimes
But don't let the wind sweep your heart away
'Cause even the roughest waters cleanse
So when they come again
Let them serve as a reminder
You can always know that
After the rain
You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
After the rain
You know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
After the rain
Can't you see the hand of Jesus
Reaching out for you?
You never have to face the storm alone
After the rain
You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
(Light of the sun)
After the rain
'Cause you know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
Well, after the rain
You know that you made it
(Look to the sky again)
You know that you made it
(After the rain)
Hold on to the light
(To the light of the sun)
After the rain
You know that you made it
(I know)
You know that you made it
(So hold on, hold on)
After the rain
You know that you made it
(Look to the sky again)
You know that you made it
(Bow down and pray)
To the light of the sun
After the rain
(After the rain)
You know that you made it
(Know that you made it)
You know that you made it
