IN THESE LAST DAYS the rains will come
Early and late the streams will run
Down to the sea and on to distant shores
The love of God will flow once more
I read it in my Father’s book
Now everyday I run I run to take a look
Is this the day He’ll hear me call
And let the rains fall over me?
Like a waterfall wash over me
Above my ankles rising up past my knees
From head to toe I want it all
Hear my cry O Lord let the waterfall
Water falling with the sound
Of a thousand angel’s wings
Stirring healing deep within
With an honest heart these songs we’ll sing
