Worship Wednesday: Healing Rain

This morning I had a bit of a writer's block.... [I KNEW that would happen if I started this Worship Wednesday thing!!!!] I turned to my bff... the source of much of my inspiration, "I got NOTHING for Worship Wednesday! What's your favorite worship song right now?" I asked of John. His answer, "Healing Rain." I actually don't remember ever hearing this song before. I googled the lyrics and listened. Boy! Is it good!

In light of the last eight months, I totally get why this is his favorite song right now, and knowing it is his favorite has ministered to me in ways I cannot explain.

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

Maybe you need some healing rain today... You know it truly is available to ALL - rich & poor... weak & strong... no matter what your sin... He died for it, and His mercy is big enough for it. Let Jesus soak your dry heart with His rain today. Feel His mercy, His healing rain flooding over you...

May you have a blessed Worship Wednesday!
