And the rains came
My panhandle state has had the oddest weather this June. We are setting records daily as the month comes to an end - wettest June, most consecutive days of rain, etc. Even as I type my street has once again become flooded.
I like this Newsboys song on days like this:
Let it Rain
Music by Peter Furler
Lyrics by Steve Taylor & Peter Furler
a fisher of men remembers...
and I have watched in wonder
as with a word You calmed a raging sea
I have seen You make the wine from water
mud and water made a blind man see
water still reminds me of the seaside where our eyes first met
let it rain
Lord, we're waiting for Your rain to fall
let it rain
bringing back the wonder of it all
and I can see Your face again
when You let it rain
and I've been bathed in mercy
by every gesture, every word You've said
once I spoke of power and high position
you took a towel and washed my feet instead
water, like a promise
heaven opens, but I'm not there yet
let it rain...
I've been foolish
thought I knew it all
three times I denied Your name
Your forgiveness, like a waterfall
washes away my shame
a new dawn is breaking
another hour, and then I leave this place
I am ready, Lord, to give my life up
I'm so ready, Lord, to see Your face
water, like a promise
and in this final hour, I think my final prayer shall be
would You let it rain?
let Your Spirit fall afresh on me
let it rain...
Just seeking the wonder of it all.
