"To me this song is a testimony of my life and the way I live...it's a blessing, because it's like you're going before the Lord humbling yourself...letting Him have His way." "Sometimes this song makes me cry because it's really a prayer from my heart: 'Lord, use me in any way that You can. Break me open like a flower in the rain, and pour Your living water into my soul, and use me. I want to be a vessel You work through.' Whether in a song or a book or a conversation, use me." -- Jaci Velasquez

Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la (la la)
Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la

You are the one, there's no one else
Who lifts me up and gives me water from the well.
But there's a hole that seems to drain it all away.
And once again I'm left in fear and doubt
When all my strength is crying out.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?

Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la

The evil wind, (ooh) it blows a storm to rock my world (aah)
Just when think I'm safe and warm.
I'm led astray far too easily.
It's always hard for me to say I'm wrong,
Until I know I can't go on.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?

Lord, You have searched me and know
When I sleep and when I rise.
You're familiar with all my ways.
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day when You look into my heart.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain,
Like a flower in the rain?
