And I have watched in wonder
As with a word You calmed a raging sea.
I have seen you make the wine from water.
Mud and water made a blind man see.
Water still reminds me
Of the seaside where our eyes first met.

Let it rain.
Lord, we're waiting for Your rain to fall.
Let it rain,
Bringing back the wonder of it all.
And I can see Your face again
When You let it rain.

And I've been bathed in mercy
By every gesture, every word you've said.
Once I spoke of power and high position.
You took a towel and washed my feet instead.
Water, like a promise.
Heaven opens, but I'm not there yet.

Let it rain.
Lord, we're waiting for Your rain to fall.
Let it rain,
Bringing back the wonder of it all.
And I can see Your face again
When You let it rain.

I've been foolish.
Thought I knew it all.
Three times I denied your name.
Your forgiveness, like a waterfall,
Washes away my shame.

A new dawn is breaking.
Another hour, and then I leave this place.
I am ready, Lord, to give my life up.
I'm so ready, Lord, to see your face.
Water, like a promise,
And in this final hour, I think my final prayer shall be:
Would You let it rain?
Let Your Spirit fall afresh on me.

Let it rain.
Lord, we're waiting for Your rain to fall.
Let it rain,
Bringing back the wonder of it all.

Let it rain.
Lord, we're waiting for Your rain to fall.
Let it rain,
Bringing back the wonder of it all.
And I can see Your face again,
I can see Your face again,
When You let it rain.
