Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain down Your cleansing flood
Healing waters, they rise around us
Hear our cries, Lord and let 'em rise
Open up the skies of mercy
Rain down Your cleansing flood
Healing waters, they rise around us
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
We can feel Your mercy falling
You are turning our hearts back again
Hear our praises as they rise to Heaven
Draw us near, Lord and meet us here
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
Your love is better, better than life
Your grace and Your mercy is better than life
Your kindness, Lord, is better than life
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
Better, better, oh it's better than life
