Barren land can overflow With life and fruit and fields that grow Even in the labor and toil Planting seed and tilling soil Will stay the same, stay the same But if for the rain! But if for rain! But if for rain to fall irresistibly call Rain to cover me But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill The soil of eternity And barren land will overflow With life and fruit and fields that grow Holy Spirit spur me to till A once barren land so thirsty still For living water, O God, sustain So life and fruit and fields remain Lest they stay the same, stay the same But if for the rain! But if for rain! But if for rain to fall irresistibly call Rain to cover me But if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill The soil of eternity But if for the rain! But if for rain! But if for rain!
