Hello Rain

Hello Rain

Vs 1
Hello Rain
Welcome to our dry and thirsty land
We need you more than ever now my friend.
I see your fingers reaching down
From lofty heights you work the ground
Dust becoming clay within your hands

Vs 2
Hello Rain, your patterns on the window tell my story
Your lightning flash provides a glimpse of glory
For a moment in the darkest night
I see the world thru your light
And I understand the hope for someone like me

Chorus:
Hello Rain! your falling drowns the sounds of heaven’s weeping
For all the dark across the ground that’s creeping
Into our dreams as we lie still and sleeping
I give all our tomorrows to your keeping

Rain, wash the slumber from our eyes
Fill us with a holy life
in you, in you

Vs 3
Hello rain! The rivers that you feed are living water
The oceans wide and deep for sons and daughters
Baptized we go forth in love
Living, serving, speaking of
We proclaim a city yet to be

Chorus (2X):
Hello rain! Your falling drowns the sounds of heaven’s weeping
For all the dark across the ground that’s creeping
Into our dreams as we lie still and sleeping
I give all our tomorrows to your keeping
Oh rain, wash the slumber from our eyes
Fill us with a holy life
in you, oh in you

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.” – Isaiah 44:3 NIV

“You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it.” – Isaiah 45:8 NIV

“Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
3 Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.” -Hosea 6:1-3 NIV
