Fall Like Rain

Overview

The people of God have always been most distinguishable when the presence of God was in their midst.

In the days of the Exodus, God made his home in the Tabernacle in the middle of the camp. During the days of King David, the Ark of the Covenant was brought back to Jerusalem where God’s presence would rest, and the kingdom flourished. However, as the kings and people of Israel continued to disobey God, eventually leading to exile, God removed His presence from the temple and the people were hopeless.

Until Jesus.

In John 1, it says that Word (Jesus) was made flesh and made His dwelling among us. What a miracle that our God has come to us. Later, in His final moments on earth, in John 14, Jesus promises to send us the Helper, the Holy Spirit.

Because our sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus, the Spirit of God can actually live inside of us. We no longer have to seek God’s presence, as within every believer now resides the Hope of Glory, the Holy Spirit. He is a helper, a teacher, and a friend. He empowers us to live the life Jesus has called us to.

God wants us to experience a closeness with Him. He wants us to let go of lesser things that don’t satisfy our souls. He is calling us to a deeper relationship with Himself. The good news for those who are in Christ is that we now have permanent access to the throne room of God through the Spirit.

In Acts, when the Holy Spirit came into the lives of the disciples, they began to live and walk with a new sense of purpose in the world. These everyday, common men and women literally turned the world upside down as the Spirit empowered them to carry the message of Jesus to the world.

This same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead and was moving in the early Church is alive in us. The Spirit has the power to change and transform our desires and make us more like Jesus.

So today, let’s pray for a hunger for the Holy Spirit to move in and around us. Let’s ask the Spirit to lead us and help us live our lives in a way that shines bright.

Lyrics

God, I live to worship You
All my life, I offer You
Simple melodies of sacrifice

Open hands and open heart
You’re the only one I want
Your presence is my treasure, my delight

Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have Your way
Let Your Glory fall down
Let Your Glory fall down

One thing I ask, one thing I seek
So much more than anything
To dwell within Your house for all my days

Knowing You is everything
So I let go of lesser things
You alone are worthy of my praise
So stir in me a passion for Your Name, Jesus

And fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have Your way
Let Your Glory fall down
Let Your Glory fall down

Make this your prayer

Oh, fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have, have Your way in us
Let Your Glory fall down
Let Your Glory fall down

It’s raining
It’s raining
Have Your way
Have Your way
Have Your way

May I never lose the wonder of Your presence
May I always stand in awe of who You are
Oh, the beauty and the gift of Your friendship
Is unlike anything I’ve ever known

May I never lose the wonder of Your presence
May I always stand in awe of who You are
Oh, the beauty and the gift of Your friendship
Is unlike anything I’ve ever known

Oh, fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have Your way
Let Your Glory fall down
Oh, let Your Glory fall
Let it fall

Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have, have Your way in us
Let Your Glory fall down

Come on
It’s all around
It’s all around
It’s here right now

So, may I never lose the wonder of Your presence
May I always stand in awe of who You are
Oh, the beauty and the gift of Your friendship
Is unlike anything I’ve ever known
Oh, thank You for Your friendship
Thank You for Your friendship

May I never lose the wonder of Your presence
May I always stand in awe of who You are
Oh, the beauty and the gift of Your friendship
Is unlike anything I’ve ever known

So, fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Fall like rain
Holy Spirit
Have Your way
Let Your Glory fall down
Oh, let Your Glory fall
