MERCY RAIN
Copyright © 2006 Lyrics by Deb Rempel & Diane Barnes, Music by Dale J. Mayer & Cindy Peterson. All rights reserved.

Verse 1
We’re crying for Your presence,
Thirsting for your touch.
Choked by sands of sin, Lord,
And desperate for Your love.
We’ve wandered from Your fountain
Of abundant life
And drifted in the desert
Of our foolish pride.

Chorus
Jesus, let Your mercy rain.
Wash us of our shame.
Flood our broken, weary souls.
Let your healing water flow.
Forgive us once again!
Jesus, let Your mercy rain!

Verse 2
We are through with wandering,
Now we simply wait,
Seeking you, dear Savior,
With our fragile faith.
We will not go on, Lord,
‘Til we hear You speak.
Lord, we’ve finally fallen,
We’ve fallen to our knees.

Chorus

Bridge
We tremble in Your presence,
In awe of what you are.
You reach down to the dust, Lord,
And draw us in Your arms!

Chorus
