Rain Down
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need You Lord to breathe in me
My prayer is still the same
My heart is calling out Your name
Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace
Rain down on me
Here in Your presence I am free
Pour down like rain
Come and touch me again
Lord let Your presence fall on me
I'm longing just to see
Your power and Your majesty
Sweet anointing fill this place
I am found in Your embrace
Sweet anointing
Wash me over
Sweet anointing
Wash me over
The lyrics to Planetshakers' song Rain Down is a prayer that invites God's presence to come down and fill the worshipper. The song begins with the singer surrendering to God, falling to their knees and asking the Lord to breathe new life into them. The worshipper declares that their prayer remains the same and they still long to call out His name. The chorus of the song is a plea for God's presence to be felt, to rain down like refreshing rain, freeing the singer from their chains. The song speaks of the power and majesty of God that is longed for.
By singing, "Sweet anointing fill this place, I am found in Your embrace," the worshipper expresses a desire for God's presence to fill the room and wrap them in the loving arms of their Creator. The bridge of the song speaks of the sweet anointing that washes over the worshipper, desiring to be fully immersed in God's presence. The lyrics, "Lord let Your presence fall on me," round out the song by asking God to manifest in His fullness.
