He Wants It That Way Lyrics by Mahalia Jackson

My Faith

1967

[Verse 1]
Let it rain, rain, rain, He wants it that way
Let it, pour, pour, pour, He know what it's for
When the lightning and the thunder
Do you ever stop and wonder
Why He say He wants it that way?
[Verse 2]
Some may smile while others may cry
All the while He's watching on high
Count your blessing every hour
We God's strong, He has the power
Everyday, He wants it that way
[Bridge]
He made the moon and stars
To brighten the darkest of night
He made the might sun and said
"Let there be light"
[Verse 3]
Nеver doubt Him for one minute
Rеad the Good Book and learn what's in it
And you'll say He wants it that way
[Bridge]
He made the moon and stars
To brighten the darkest of night
He made the might sun and said
"Let there be light"
[Verse 3]
Never doubt Him for one minute
Read the Good Book and learn what's in it
And you'll say He wants it that way
