Rain Down

Deuteronomy 32:2 (NIV)
Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.

Let God's word rain down on you today. Let Him enter into your life and take control. He is willing and ready to do so today.

Delirious? - Rain Down


Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the earth is ready
I know its time for heaven's rain, it's gonna rain

Cos it's living water we desire
To flood our hearts with holy fire

Rain down all around the world we're singing
Rain down can you hear the earth is singing
Rain down my heart is dry but still I'm singing
Rain down rain it down on me.

Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time, to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes I'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands

Do not shut, Do not shut, Do not shut the heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts

Give me strength to cross the water
Keep my heart upon Your altar
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet don’t let me falter

Healing Rain

Today I just want to share with you another of Michael W Smith 's songs entitled "Healing Rain". I'm a big fan of all his songs and this is another of my favourites, I just love the words and the music.

Healing Rain (Michael W Smith)

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...

Rain

Well I should have known better...write a blog about the wonderful sunny weather we're having and what happens...within a day the sun's gone and it's wet and dull again! Sorry!



I said in my blog yesterday that when it's sunny it seems to lift our spirits and make everything seem a bit brighter. Well today I think I've seen the opposite apply:

• Damp and wet this morning when I left for work which after the weather of the last few days, made it less appealing to go out in.


• I then got stuck in a traffic jam for a while because part of a raod had been shut because of a collapsed man hole.


• That in turn meant I got to work much later than I was supposed to.


• The air conditioning in my office is broken and needs a part which won't be available until Monday, so the office is like a sauna again.


• Had to go out at lunchtime to get a birthday card for my Dad, forgot my umbrella so got soaked.


• Had a meeting this afternoon which went on until about 5.45pm, by which time my head was thumping.

So dull and damp outside today. Feeling pretty down today too as it's been a very long day, I'm exhausted and a lot of things I was involved in to day just didn't quite go as planned.

Sunny bright days outside seem to make it easier to be positive, so when you're having a "grey" day, don't focus on the negative things around you, think of a time when you were happy and try and stay positive. Pray! God doesn't desert you when you're having a bad day, He's there to help you make everyday a sunny day.

Stay positive no matter how your weather looks!

By the way, Tigger's back to sleeping on our bed again as the window doesn't seem so appealing today!
