Michael W Smith has been in Christian music since the early 80's. He has published some amazing songs over the years. This song about healing rain has always been special to me. We all need to be washed clean by God's healing rain!
Verses for Consideration:
Psalm 51:7 ESV
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
1 John 1:9 ESV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
LYRICS:
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.
Healing rain is falling down, Healing rain is falling down, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
Healing rain is falling down, Healing rain is falling down, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
Healing rain is falling down, Healing rain is falling down, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
Healing rain is falling down, Healing rain is falling down, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
