Open the Flood gates of Heaven!

Michael W. Smith has a song that my family loves to sing.... and this end of June it seems most appropriate to put it's lyrics to today's beautiful rainstorm and my precious ones rejoicing and dancing in the outpouring.... so here it is!

"Let it rain,
let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven


The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad

Let the distance shores rejoice

Clouds and thick darkness surround him

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne

A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side

His lightning lights up the world

The earth sees and trembles

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord

Before the Lord of all the earth

The Heavens proclaim His righteousness

And all peoples will see His Glory


We want to see Your Glory, God!

Do you want to see His Glory?

Lift your voices, lift your hands!


Let it rain, let it rain.

Open the floodgates of Heaven!"

I can hear my precious little ones singing this as I write this blog and see their sweet images dancing in the rain in front of my house.... they sing it as we watch the storm clouds gather! Here in West Texas, we are so thankful for this gift from God, and this particular rain will fill the newly dug tank at the crossroads in front of our cross. SWEET!!!!


HOLY.... LORD YOU ARE HOLY!!!!
we thank You for the rain and we ask trusting for YOUR REIGN!
