Let It Rain
Let It Rain
On mountaintops and hillsides
In villages and valley floors
Let it rain
Fall on us through the whispers of the wind
Fill our creeks and ditches up to our chins
Let it rain
Fill our dams, our rivers, and our reservoirs
Grant to us the musical raindrops for hours
Let it rain
On roof tops of tin, asphalt, and tar
May your wet drops be heard from afar
Let it rain
Our summer lawns are no longer green
Roses are struggling like I’ve never seen
Let it rain
The fall trees are late and longing for brown
The birds and the bees stare at me with a frown
Let it rain
The summers have been long, dry, and hot
Some farmers quit, because their crops were shot
Let it rain
The drought has lasted for at least four years
Many have experienced the pain along with the tears
Let it rain
O Lord, many things have changed and will never be the same
O Lord, only you can make it rain, as we pray in your name
O Lord, wet our appetite for you, and take away our fright
O Lord, we plea, let it rain.
