ABOUT THIS TRACK
We may love well if we have reserves of spirit to draw on...
Inspired by the phrase "in our souls we hear the sound of heavy rain", used by Dave Gatting when speaking about the story of Elijah and the end of the four-year drought in Israel (1 Kings 18-19).
lyrics
LYRICS
So many years of drought in this land—
idol worship born of idle hands.
God is mocked, ambition is laid bare
in worthless creeds of pleasure and despair.
We your people have come to you today,
come to worship, like Elijah come to pray—
see a tiny cloud on the horizon again
and in our souls the sound of heavy rain.
Pour down on every willing heart:
rain in this desert, Holy Spirit, counterpart,
pour down your power and your grace—
we can do the father’s will,
make a difference in this place.
So many times we have stood upon this ground,
pride and indifference the enemies we’ve found.
So many lives lived in darkness all their days
that never know the liberty of praise.
Open our eyes and our ears to your desire,
to see around us your chariots of fire,
to hear your still and quiet voice again
and in our souls the sound of heavy rain.
Pour down...
We don't find you in the earthquake,
we don't find you in the fire,
we don't find you in the howling wind,
you whisper to our desire
Pour down...
