Rain

(Johannah Mackin)

The summer of 2007 in Nashville was unusually hot and dry. Every Sunday at church we would pray earnestly for the rain to come and water the earth. At one point during a service, these words came flowing into my head and the melody was close behind. After church I went home, sat at the piano, and began to play. The prayers at church turned into a song at home and it was as if God was wanting me to pray for His rain to come soak us and wash us. I always think of His rain as His presence, sometimes gentle and refreshing, sometimes strong and powerful. My spirit was dry and cracked and it was much in need of a heavenly downpour.

Rain come down fill my soul, fill my soul

Rain come down make me whole, make me whole

Rain come down fill my soul, fill my soul

Rain come down make me whole, make me whole

 

Rain come, rain fall, fall on us

Rain come, rain fall, fall on us

Heaven's rain

 

Rain come down pour over me, over me

Rain come down wash me clean, wash me clean

Rain come down pour over me, over me

Rain come down wash me clean, wash me clean

 

Rain come, rain fall, fall on us

Rain come, rain fall, fall on us

Rain, rain, heaven's rain
