START THE RAIN

Lord, as I walk ‘cross a dry and thirsty place

And I don’t know when water last touched my face

Start the rain, start the rain

Although all I see is barren sand

I know I am still in your hand

Start the rain, start the rain

And though you seem far away

I know that all I have to do is pray

Start the rain, start the rain

No other name can save me, no

I trust in you though hot winds blow

Start the rain, start the rain

My enemies may surround

The hot sun may pound

Still I will wait for the sound

Of your trumpets resound

And the water will start to fall

When you give an answer to my call

And start the rain, start the rain.
