Rain of Heaven
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be porued out in this place
Let the earth be flooded
With Your mercy and Your grace
Open up the Heavens in this place
Let it rain, let it rain
Lord our hearts are thirsty
Longing for the waters
That only come from You
Open up the Heavens in this place
Let it rain, let it rain
Cause I am thirsty for the waters
That only come from You
Flowing from the mighty river
That flows out from Your throne
Come now, O Holy Spirit
Rain down, rain down
Thirsty for a touch from Heaven
Rain down on us
Here we are waiting
With one heart
One mind, and one accord
Let the fire from Heaven
Fall on us now
With power to overcome
The lyrics to Planetshakers' song "Rain of Heaven" speak about the desire for spiritual renewal and the coming of God's mercy and grace. The song starts with a plea for Heaven to pour out its rain on Earth so that it may be flooded with divine goodness. The song then acknowledges that the heart and passion of those singing the song are renewed by the life-giving waters that only come from God. The lyrics emphasize the belief that only by opening up the Heavens, letting it rain, and allowing God's touch to be felt, can one truly overcome.
The message of the song is that the awakening of a soul takes the mighty river of God's intervention. The song does not simply ask to be refreshed with a sprinkle of His mercy, but instead calls for a radical downpour. This is because the Singer knows that it takes a great flood to overcome the drought of the spirit; a lot of grace to heal the brokenness of humanity. The end of the song implores the Holy Spirit to come down with a shower to give power to all the waiting, united souls, with one heart, one mind, and one accord, who want to stay committed to the renewed aweness that comes with God's intervention.
