2. It’s beginning to rain,
Hear the voice of the father,
Saying whosoever will, let him drink of the
waters,
For He said “I will pour my spirit upon,
Your sons and your daughters”
So if you’re thirsty and dry,
Look up to the sky
It’s beginning to rain.
CHORUS
IT’S BEGINNING TO RAIN

To gather together,
The Lord will be coming to bless,
All those who are expecting,
The windows & doors of the sky,
Will be let loose on people,
Upon the praying people will showers

Showers of blessing we need;
