[Chorus]
Send Your rain, send Your rain
Let Your healing fall on our hearts again
‘Cause we are dry, we’re crying out:
Saviour, send the streams that will break the drought
Send Your rain
[Verse]
Generous God, You pour out
Tender mercies on Your children
In Your grace, hear us now
Send Your rain, send Your rain
Generous God, You pour out
Tender mercies on Your children
In Your grace, hear us now
Send Your rain, send Your rain
Send Your rain, send Your rain
[Outro]
Send Your rain
Send Your rain
Send Your rain
