Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Scripture-Based Lyrics: 1 Elijah bent and touched the earth,
his face between his knees.
He prayed to see a little cloud,
to feel a cooling breeze.
"I hear the sound of rushing rain,
the fragrance fills the air.
Go up now, look out toward the sea."
The boy saw nothing there.
2 "Why is Elijah sending me?
These seven times I go.
But wait! a cloud is forming there,
so small, so soft, so low,
no larger than a person's hand,
and rising from the sea.
As I looked out in my despair,
a cloud appeared to me."
3 "Go tell the wicked king to ride
his chariot back to town."
The sky turns black, the wind comes up,
the saving rain pours down.
Our lives and lands, both parched and dry,
are rich again with rain.
This land will blossom like a rose,
and joy may rise again. Scripture: 1 Kings 18:41-46 Used With Tune: RAIN SONG
