Lakewood Hope for Today : Abundance of Rain

This is a high spirited song, which just makes u wanna jump up and bounce and sing and declare God’s rain over your life. This song is from Lakewood’s Hope for Today album.

Are you seeking for God’s Abundance of Rain?

I relate this song to the prophet Elijah from 1 Kings 18.

In this chapter, God told Elijah to present himself to King Ahab and to tell the king that despite the famine that they are facing, GOD will send RAIN on the land.

Its definitely a miracle, its definitely God pouring out His abundance over us!

What reminded me of this song was this when both Kim Meng and Cindy commented on the change of the Malaysia’s weather. It was a drastic change! Just over a week ago, we had terrible haze all over the klang valley, and it was dark, hazy, smelly and foul. Totally disliked it!

But over the weekend, we saw the change in weather, from hazy to clear blue skies and all of this just reminded me of God’s favor and blessings. Reminded me of how God has send RAIN to wash away all the bad; reminded on how God is just gonna pour out His blessings on a bright new day; reminded me that each day His mercies are new for us!

Then it just reminded me of this great song “Abundance of Rain” . . . . . . . .

1 Kings 18:1-2, 41-45 (NIV)

1 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.” 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria,

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked.
“There is nothing there,” he said.
Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”

44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”
So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’ ”

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on

Abundance of Rain Lyrics

Verse

I can hear the sound

Its a sound of the abundance of rain

I can see the cloud

Filled with God’s favor, its heading this way

Pre-Chorus

Heavenly rain drops fall on me

As I worship You this day

My heart is prepared to receive what’s  for me

In the abundance of rain

Chorus

Lord you can shower your goodness

Sprinkle your mercy

Pour out your blessing

Lord I’m ready

Cover me Lord completely

Till its light that I know

Has been changed by the abundance of rain

Bridge

Open the windows of heaven

Lord Rain on me (Rain on me)

Rain on me

Rain down on me
