Ask For Rain

Ask For Rain

In the springtime
     ask for rain.
When your soul is dry and thirsty,
     ask for rain.
If you want to know refreshing,
     ask for rain.
Ask the One who makes the storm clouds,
     in the springtime,
          ask for rain.

He will send you showers aplenty
     to water the earth, plants, and fields,
          giving you hearts to harvest
               from the valley of deep darkness.
Ask the One who makes the storm clouds,
     in the springtime
          ask for rain.

Before the early light of dawn,
     before the rosy glow of eastern skies
          before the day has even begun,
               He will come,
               He will come.

Ask the One who makes the storm clouds,
     in the springtime,
          ask for rain.

Zechariah 10:1, Hosea 6:3, Psalm 23:4
