Send some rain, would You send some rain?   'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again   And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade      Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?   Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down   Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid      But maybe not, not today   Maybe You'll provide in other ways   And if that's the case      We'll give thanks to You with gratitude   For lessons learned in how to thirst for You   How to bless the very sun that warms our face   If You never send us rain      Daily bread, give us daily bread   Bless our bodies, keep our children fed   Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight      Wrap us up and warm us through   Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs   Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time      Or maybe not, not today   Maybe You'll provide in other ways   And if that's the case      We'll give thanks to You with gratitude   A lesson learned to hunger after You   That a starry sky offers a better view   If no roof is overhead   And if we never taste that bread      Oh, the differences that often are between   Everything we want and what we really need      So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace   Move our hearts to hear a single beat   Between alibis and enemies tonight      Or maybe not, not today   Peace might be another world away   And if that's the case      We'll give thanks to You with gratitude   For lessons learned in how to trust in You   That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream   In abundance or in need      And if You never grant us peace   But, Jesus, would You please
