Downpour

Here where self and sin and sadness
Have displaced the oil of gladness
Here in barren desert madness
Weary and dry
Cannot run or walk, I'm crawling
But through shame I hear You calling
Clouds of Mercy, raindrops falling,
Downpour, I need a downpour
Come, come like the rain
Wash every stain, fall upon me Jesus
River of God, flooding with joy
Rise up in me, Jesus
Into my heart's desolation
Flows the water of salvation
Fill this lowly wasteland with the
shower from above
Only You can quench my thirsting
Fill until my heart is bursting
Jesus ever be the first thing
Downpour, I need a downpour
Come, come like the rain
Wash every stain, fall upon me Jesus
River of God, flooding with joy
Rise up in me, Jesus
~ James McDonald
After yesterday oh I need to pray this song.
