These days are long
And the nights are hard
I can?t see the sun
But I feel Your love
And I know You?re here
And You?ve always been
?Cause even the dark has light within
So, let it in
Yeah, let it in like rain
Let it pour right over
Let Him wash away
All that pulls me under
Oh, the breath of God
Is bringing me back to life
Oh
Yeah, another day
Yeah, another song
Another chance to move along
In the dance of life
Yeah, the steps can change
When love is leading
You learn the way
To let it in
Let it in like rain
Let Him pour right over
Let Him wash away
All that pulls you under
Oh, the breath of God
Is bringing you back to life
Oh
So, let Him in
Oh
Let Him into your heart
Into your soul
Lift up your voice
Give Him control
He is enough
He can hold it all
Every step of the way
He is beside you
Will never change
He?s there to guide through
All of your days
You?ll never be alone
Let Him in like rain
Let Him pour right over
Let Him wash away
All that pulls you under
Oh, the breath of God
Is bringing you back to life
Oh
So let Him in

The chorus uses the metaphor of rain to describe letting God wash away what pulls us under, with the breath of God bringing new life. The song encourages surrender and trust, emphasizing that God is enough to hold everything and will guide every step. It speaks to those struggling with anxiety or weariness, offering hope and peace through God's nearness.
