Last evening as the rain at times dumped down, at other times a gentle sprinkle, my mind slipped back to our final song of worship this past Sunday morning. Yes, you remember….”Rain Down”.

Take a few moments to read and meditate on these words:

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love on your people.

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love God of life.

1.     Faithful and true is the word of our God,

All of God’s works are so worthy of trust,

             God’s mercy falls on the just and the right;

             Full of God’s love is the earth.

2.     We who revere and find hope in our God

Live in the kindness and joy of God’s wing.

God will protect us from darkness and death;

God will not leave us to starve.

3.     God of creation, we long for your truth;

You are the water of life that we thirst.

Grant that your love and your peace touch our hearts,

All of our hope lies in you.

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love on your people.

Rain down, rain down, rain down your love God of life.

Oh, how we need God’s love to be poured out in our world. Mental stress, antagonism and frustration with others, anger and bitterness all seems to be the norm around us. But, if we truly believe that last line of verse 3 – “Grant that your love and your peace touch our hearts, all of our hope lies in you.” – then this song should become our daily and consistent prayer.

Invite God to pour His love into your heart and life in such a way that it naturally overflows to all those you connect with, from family, to co-workers, to the cashier at TIMS. And as His love “rains on you”, take the time to observe the changes in brings to those around you, and to you!

All are welcome!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”

Col. 3:23
