This sacred song is an evocative and poetic prayer of need and thanksgiving. Contending with the deep matter of “wants” versus “needs” in our petitions to God, this choral is truly a sermon in song as it probes the heart's priorities. A very different and needed teaching anthem!
Available for SATB and SSA with optional Instrumental Accompaniment. - เพลง
Stunning lyrics, even more stunning with this musical rendition... this song moves me to tears.
This was one of the last choir pieces my father conducted before he lost his battle to cancer (in 2021). We never really got along, but his faith and belief always had my admiration. And today, I really miss him, it feels good to finally shed tears for him, and give gratitude to God.
How beautiful. Praise be to God.
Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case ...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain
Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case ...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view
If no roof is overhead
And if we never taste that bread
Oh, the differences that often are between
Everything we want and what we really need
So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case ...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace ...
But, Jesus, would You please ...
Powerful and beautiful!
Very thoughtful song
Beautiful!
Very beautiful! Do you have minus one for this song?
