Crucifix in the Rain

Lightning paint halos on the puddles.

That’s the Lord signin’ His name in water.

Some days I don’t pray with words —

I just let the storm translate.

(Thunder rolls; Batiste plays slow minor chords.)

⸻

🎶

Raindrop hangin’ off the edge of my chain,

Every drip a psalm, every drop a pain.

I lost a few halos, gained some scars,

Still find God between the bars.

Streetlight bleed on my dashboard gold,

Told the truth to heaven, the secret I hold.

Said, “Lord, I’m flawed but I still remain,”

He said, “Boy, that’s the crucifix in the rain.”

🎶

Crucifix in the rain,

Love don’t drown, it sustain.

Thunder cry, but the light still reign,

Mercy live in the crucifix rain.

🎶

⸻

🎶

See, water remember, it don’t forget,

The tears we cried still holy yet.

Bourbon flooded, we swam in grace,

Every loss just cleared some space.

God paint murals in the mud sometimes,

Miracles drip between the lines.

I ain’t pure, but I’m proof of faith,

Still breathin’, that’s amazing grace.

⸻

🎶

La pluie bénit, la peine s’efface,

(The rain blesses, the pain fades.)

Dieu pleure avec nous, même dans la place,

(God cries with us, even in the street.)

🎶

(Wayne hums beneath, like a mantra: “Yeah… He cry too… He cry too.”)

⸻

🎶

Crucifix in the rain,

The city baptized again.

Every thunderclap a refrain,

Hope reborn in the crucifix rain.

🎶

(Trumpet solo — mournful, then turns bright like sunlight through clouds.)

⸻

The cross ain’t just wood — it’s weight.

And sometimes, the rain feel like hands

liftin’ it with you.

You don’t walk alone, even when you think you do.

Look — every drop got a face in it.

🎶

Raindrops fall like amens low,

Heaven don’t talk, it just flow.

🎶

⸻

🎶

Crucifix in the rain,

Heart on beat, soul unchained.

The flood don’t end — it cleanse again,

Heaven cry, and we call it rain.

🎶

⸻

(Batiste plays soft descending chord progression.)

The storm ain’t punishment.

It’s proof He still speakin’.

(Thunder fades into the sound of quiet applause from a distant street — like a benediction.)
