Sweet Rain

I love the sound of soft falling rain.  I love the way it adds a depth of aroma to everything outside.  I love how the world seems quiet and sweet.  I love to sit in the stillness of it all, and just be.  I love to peek, and see children lost in slumber to the soft drumming.  It's so refreshing and cleansing.  I need the refreshment.  I need to be still.... alone in my thoughts, and  revel in the wonder of it all.  This world is so big... and busy.  Sometimes, I need to be reminded of how little I am, in the bigness of it all.  There is so much to take in.  But, today... I just want to watch the rain drip off colorful flowers, blowing gently in the wind.  Today, I am thankful for soft raindrops that make everything clean....reminding me of grace that allows us to be clean and new again.

Healing Rain, By Michael W. Smith

 

 Lyrics:

 

Healing rain is coming down

It's coming nearer to this old town

Rich and poor, weak and strong

It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down

It's coming closer to the lost and found

Tears of joy, and tears of shame

Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire

So let it fall and take us higher

Healing rain, I'm not afraid

To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return

To the mercy seat where time began

And in your eyes, I see the pain

Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man

Can take a leper and let him stand

So lift your hands, they can be held

By someone greater, the Great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire

So let it fall and take us higher

Healing rain, I'm not afraid

To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down

Healing rain is falling down

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid...
