Send some rain, would You send some rain? |
|
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again |
|
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade |
|
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud? |
|
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down |
|
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid |
|
But maybe not, not today |
|
Maybe You'll provide in other ways |
|
And if that's the case ... |
|
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude |
|
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You |
|
How to bless the very sun that warms our face |
|
If You never send us rain |
|
Daily bread, give us daily bread |
|
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed |
|
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight |
|
Wrap us up and warm us through |
|
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs |
|
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time |
|
Or maybe not, not today |
|
Maybe You'll provide in other ways |
|
And if that's the case ... |
|
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude |
|
A lesson learned to hunger after You |
|
That a starry sky offers a better view |
|
If no roof is overhead |
|
And if we never taste that bread |
|
Oh, the differences that often are between |
|
Everything we want and what we really need |
|
So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace |
|
Move our hearts to hear a single beat |
|
Between alibis and enemies tonight |
|
Or maybe not, not today |
|
Peace might be another world away |
|
And if that's the case ... |
|
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude |
|
For lessons learned in how to trust in You |
|
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream |
|
In abundance or in need |
|
And if You never grant us peace ... |
|
But, Jesus, would You please ... |
