When the Rains Come - Gaither Vocal Band

Mercy drops round us are falling

But for the showers we plead

When the heat dries up the river

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 woundrous life

Oh Thou welcome, holy presence

Washing all my dust away

Leave me clean and pure before you

I’m dancing like a child at play

Then the rains come, oh the rains come

Gentle streams flow down the mountainside

Filling rivers, rushing water

To the valleys, bringing woundrous life

Let the rains come, let the rains come

Gentle streams flow down the mountainside

Filling rivers, rushing water

To the valleys, bringing woundrous life

Let the rains come

Let the rains come

Let the rains come

Let the rains come

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Showers of blessings
