LORD, SEND THE RAIN

We hear of distant thunder clouds
We long for later rain.
The waiting Church is thirsty, Lord
The downpour to begin.

Remove the stain of sin away
Return sweet heavenly Dove.
Endue us with your power again
And bind us in your love.

The Master waits to open wide
The storehouse of His grace.
The Church obedient to His word
Must move into its place.

Ignite the fire! Turn up the flame!
The blazing cross lift high
Until the Church triumphant stands
With Christ the Lord on high.

CHORUS
Lord, let the showers of heaven descend
Pour out the oil of Joy again.
Breathe through our hearts your love today
And let your waiting Church obey.
--B.Pent
