Showers of Blessings!

It's raining!!! :)
As I'm typing this I'm listening to the wonderful sound of steady rain and the almost constant roll of distant thunder. We've flung open all the doors an windows, there's a wonderful coolness coming through the house and the smell of damp earth and a mixture of flower scents. We aren't the only ones rejoicing - you can almost "see" the plants drinking up the rain and the birds are bathing on the damp leaves or in the puddles on the ground. Winter's drought is broken - even the weather sticker on the side of my blog is showing a background of rainy weather at this time so it must be quite widespread! :)

How we thank the Lord for His wonderful showers of blessings - outside and inside, and most of all in our souls!!

There will be showers of blessing: 

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Saviour above.

Refrain: Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come, and now honor Thy Word.

Refrain

There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

Refrain

There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.
