You alone are my God
You alone are my King
You hold the whole world
In the hollow of Your hand

(Lead only)
Come on and hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain

Come on and hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain

(Lead w/Choir)
Say – hide me from the rain
Please, Jesus – hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain – hide me from the rain
Hallelujah – hide me from the rain

You alone are my peace
You alone keep my mind
I know Your eye′s on the sparrow
So I know You're watching me

Say – hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain – hide me from the rain
Please, Jesus – hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain, yeah – hide me from the rain

(Choir) Hide me from the rain
Cover me Jesus, cover me Jesus – hide me from the rain
Hide me from the rain – hide me from the rain
Choir: Hide me from the rain

Dear God, we say come on Jesus – come on, Jesus

Come on Jesus – come on, Jesus
Come on Jesus – come on, Jesus

Somebody say, come on Jesus – come on, Jesus

We know You′ve got the power – come on Jesus
If we have got the faith – come on, Jesus

Who is fully able – come on, Jesus
To do exceedingly abundantly – come on, Jesus
Above all we can ask or think – come on, Jesus

There's nobody like Ya – come on, Jesus
Nowhere to be found – come on, Jesus
Come on, come on – come on, Jesus

(Choir) Hide me from the rain
Hmmm – hide me from the rain
He that dwells in the secret place – hide me from the rain
Shall abide under the shadow – hide me from the rain

Of the Almighty
Hallelujah!
