Israel & New Breed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse One:]
It's raining it's pouring the spirit is flowing
I feel the anointing for healing and miracles
It's raining and pouring over me

[Chorus:]
Let it rain let it rain let it rain let it rain
[Vamp:]

Healing water flow over my soul healing water overflow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Israel & New Breed's song "It's Raining" are loaded with religious metaphors and symbolism. The verses express a sense of unprecedented spiritual power, as though the singer is witnessing a divine downpour of the Holy Spirit that is bringing with it an abundance of blessings in the form of miraculous healings and blessings. The phrase "It's raining it's pouring the spirit is flowing" is particularly interesting in this regard, as the words create an image of a metaphorical waterfall pouring down upon the singer's soul, washing away any spiritual impurities or blockages they may have had.


The chorus, "Let it rain let it rain let it rain let it rain," seems to be an exhortation for the spiritual rain to continue falling, without interruption, until the singer has been completely soaked and imbued with the power of the Holy Spirit. The repetition of the phrase creates a sense of urgency and longing, as though the singer is pleading with the heavens to send down more of this spiritual rain.


The vamp, "Healing water flow over my soul healing water overflow," is the climax of the song, where the singer seems to be requesting that the Holy Spirit's rain of blessings be focused specifically on healing whatever spiritual wounds or blockages they may have. There is a palpable sense of desperation in these words, as though the singer believes that only this rain from heaven can save their soul from whatever ails it.


Overall, the song "It's Raining" is a powerfully uplifting and emotionally resonant piece of music, evoking a sense of spiritual renewal and hope. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith and belief in our lives, and an expression of the idea that no matter how dark the world may seem, there is always hope for redemption and renewal through the grace of the divine.

Can anyone tell me if there are song sheets available for the interlude from 5:29 to 6:10? The song sheet for "It's Raining" stops short of it, and I would love to know how to play that piece.
