Peace Comes Like Rain
Heat waves rise off simmerin’ streets, shimmerin’ in the sun
Gotta be 99 degrees or more out there
It’s been this way now for seven days, can’t take another one
Gotta get some rain into this dusty air
Weary faces search the sky; they sigh and complain
Others praise the One who sends the sun and the rain
And your people worship your name
With their whole hearts, without shame
And your peace comes down like rain
On your people once again
People so dry, cryin’ for water
Sun burnin’ down hotter and hotter
They look to the sky with hearts all aflame
They lift up your name
And peace comes like rain
Thunderheads bloom on the horizon in the fiery noon
Grey shadows soon cover all the dry, cracked ground
Thunder rolls as lighting bolts light up the afternoon
Trees toss their heads, rejoicing in the sound
The smell of rain rides the wind, the clouds let down their hair
Grateful faces smile again as rain fills the air
And your people worship your name
With their whole hearts, without shame
And your peace comes down like rain
On your people once again
People so dry, cryin’ for water
Sun burnin’ down hotter and hotter
They look to the sky with hearts all aflame
They lift up your name
And peace comes like rain
I’ve heard all creation groaning, travailing in pain
Awaiting the day your children are revealed
Yet even now, I hear your Spirit pouring out the latter rain
Giving life to seeds you’ve planted in your field
To bring to harvest fruits of righteousness
Precious fruit that shall remain, it will remain
And your people worship your name
With their whole hearts, without shame
And your peace comes down like rain
On your people once again
People so dry, cryin’ for water
Sun burnin’ down hotter and hotter
They look to the sky with hearts all aflame
They lift up your name
And peace comes like rain
Peace comes like rain
Peace comes like rain
