Creedence Clearwater Revival sang it in 1970 and it flew to the top of the charts. It can still be heard in doctors’ offices all over the country. The song uses bad weather as a metaphor for catastrophic times, following a biblical tradition that dates back to the flood.
Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down
Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages tryin’ to find the sun.
And I wonder still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.
Life is an unending succession of confusing situations and people vainly try to find an answer for it all. Let me tell you, it’s not the sun we need, but the Son. He is the source of understanding what life is all about and how we should navigate through it.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Give it some thought because it’s bound to rain again.
