Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching our grandson play in a puddle. He is almost two, and was happily stomping his little blue-clog-clad feet in the water. It reminded me of myself at that age. My rainy day play was immortalized by a newspaper photographer who happened along to snap this photo of me with my raincoat and umbrella.
On rainy days I often think of a favorite song by Dennis Jernigan … “Rain (Reign) In Me”. Many don’t know it because it is older, and not on Christian radio now, but the words are as relevant now as the day they were written. Allow me to share them with you … maybe they will become your prayer, as they have mine.
I need Your presence Lord
Like a desert needs a great downpour
I need Your presence Lord
Like the thirsty need the rain
I need to be with You
Like a walk in rain soaked through and through
For You bring peace it's true
Like the sound of falling rain
Rain Your life on me Almighty God
Rain on me and take me where You are
Rain in me and wash me white as snow
Rain in me my Father, flood my soul
Rain in me
You come surprising me
Like a sudden rain come over me
But that's alright You see
Lord I do enjoy the rain
My Father fall on me
With Your sweet refreshing melody
Raindrops of love on me
Like the sound of falling rain
