(Wind in the desert)

(Verse 1)
On my own, I quickly lose my way
Here I am
Where desert lands surround
And no relief is found
Yet I know You're always there for me
If I seek Your face
And as I humbly kneel
Within my soul I feel...

(Chorus)
Gentle rain, Lord
A blessing from above
Send Your rain, Lord
And shower me in love
No more sorrow, no more pain
Just healing and relief
In the comfort of Your gentle rain

(Thunder)

(Verse 2)
Sometimes the storms are more than I can bear
And I cry,
"Lord, though my hope is sure
How long must I endure?"
And You reply, "Without these storms in life
You could not be strong"
Then by Your grace they end
And in their place You send...

(Repeat Chorus)
Gentle rain, Lord
A blessing from above
Send Your rain, Lord
And shower me in love
No more sorrow, no more pain
Just healing and relief
In the comfort of Your gentle rain

(Bridge)
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more sorrow, no more pain
In You I'm free
No more sorrow, no more pain
As I feel Your gentle care
Rain down on me

(Repeat Chorus)
Gentle rain, Lord
A blessing from above
Send Your rain, Lord
And shower me in love
No more sorrow, no more pain
Just healing and relief
In the comfort of Your gentle rain

No more sorrow, no more pain
Just healing and relief
In the comfort of Your gentle rain

(Gentle rain)

Awesome song! Brings peace to one's heart. Rain is a way that the Great Spirit tells us that He cares about us despite our trouble, sadden lives. This is the first time I visit this website, and it will not be the last. Such great songs to listen to -- very uplifting, encouraging, comforting, and inspiring to the heart and soul. "www.songsofpraise.org" website is a blessing to me. Thanks! --JAMES. jhreyos2013@yahoo.com

I first heard "Gentle Rain" on a page that I receive once a week. I just love the music and words so much that I listen to it almost every day. I would like to put it on my MP3 player and order some of your other CD. Please advise.

I sang this song in church today - it wasn't planned. It was a spontaneous response to the soloist being sick. I felt the need to sing it so I volunteered. Let me get one thing perfectly clear - i am not a singer - just the guy that controls the sound board! But, I took a big risk. I felt God urging me to sing this wonderful message. As I was singing the final words to this song, I notice a great number in the audience wiping tears from their face. Was I really that bad??? No, God spoke (through this song) to these people. It was a message that they needed to hear. Many came to me after the service an told me how this song spoke directly to them - one suffering from cancer, another one's husband had been very sick, etc. It ended up humbling me knowing God used a person like me (with very limited music abilities)as an instrument to comfort these people. I cannot thank you enough for you web site offering these beautiful arrangements. ~Tim.

This is a beautiful, wonderful song. The melody is so gentle like the title of the song says and I love the lyrics as well. My favourite part is "Without these storms in life you could not be strong". Then by Your grace they end and in their place You send..gentle rain, Lord
Thank you so much for this song
