Rain of Renewal
Verse 1:
After fire, comes the rain,
Washing away the drought, the pain.
From ashes, life begins anew,
God’s grace descends, like morning dew.
Chorus:
Rain of renewal, fall on us now,
Quench our thirst, to You we bow.
Holy Spirit, flood our souls,
In Your mercy, make us whole.
Verse 2:
In repentance, we find our start,
Healing waters for the parched heart.
From heaven, streams of mercy flow,
In God’s rain, we grow, we glow.
Chorus:
Rain of renewal, fall on us now,
Quench our thirst, to You we bow.
Holy Spirit, flood our souls,
In Your mercy, make us whole.
Bridge:
As Elijah saw the cloud arise,
So we await our rain-filled skies.
Promise of renewal, hope’s bright dawn,
In His rain, we’re reborn, we’re drawn.
Outro (Repeat Chorus):
Rain of renewal, fall on us now,
Quench our thirst, to You we bow.
Holy Spirit, flood our souls,
In Your mercy, make us whole.
