When the Rains Come
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers, we plead
When the heat dries up the rivers
And the leaves hang limp and dry
All the creek beds cracked and broken
And the aspen starts to die
And when my soul is dry and barren
Panting for the spirit's rain
So depleted, weak and empty
Every resource used and drained
Then the rains come, oh, the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Oh, thou welcome, holy presence
Washing all my dust away
Leave me clean and pure before you
Dancing like a child at play, oh-oh-oh
When the rains come, let the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Let the rains come, let the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Let the rains come
Let the rains come
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Let the rains come
Let the rains come
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Showers of blessings
But for the showers, we plead
When the heat dries up the rivers
And the leaves hang limp and dry
All the creek beds cracked and broken
And the aspen starts to die
And when my soul is dry and barren
Panting for the spirit's rain
So depleted, weak and empty
Every resource used and drained
Then the rains come, oh, the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Oh, thou welcome, holy presence
Washing all my dust away
Leave me clean and pure before you
Dancing like a child at play, oh-oh-oh
When the rains come, let the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Let the rains come, let the rains come
Gentle streams flow down the mountainside
Filling rivers, rushing water
To the valleys, bringing wondrous life
Let the rains come
Let the rains come
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Let the rains come
Let the rains come
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Showers of blessings
