It's Beginning to Rain
======================

[Refrain]
It's beginning to rain -- hear the voice of the Father
Saying, "Whosoever will come drink of this water;
I have promised to pour my Spirit out on your sons and your daughters."
If you're thirsty and dry, look up to the sky -- it's beginning to rain.

[Verse 1]
The turtle dove is singing its sweet song of morning;
The leaves on the trees turn their silver cups to the sky.
The silent clouds above are beginning to gather;
The barren land is thirsty, and so am I.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
The young man's eyes start to shine as he tells of his vision;
The old understands what he sees for he's dreamed his dreams.
With the thrill of being alive, they reach for each other;
And they dance in the rain with the joy of the things that they've seen.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
At the first drop of rain that you hear, throw open the windows;
Go call all your children together and throw wide the door.
When the rains of the Spirit are falling, fill ev'ry vessel.
For he who drinks his fill will thirst no more.

[Refrain]
