1 Let It Rain
Show Lyrics
Can you feel it?
Something’s moving.
Let it rain!
Let it rain, let it rain,
Wake us up and breathe again.
Light the fire in our veins.
Send down the latter rain.
Let it fall, let it fall,
Till Your love has covered all.
We are ready, we are changed.
Send down the latter rain.
Rain down, rain down,
Spirit, come and rain down.
Rain down, rain down,
Wake this generation now.
We’ve been running through the noise,
Trying to find a clearer voice.
Now we’re laying down the weight.
We don’t want to live afraid.
Break the pressure, break the pride.
Bring the dead in us alive.
No more watching from the side.
We were born to burn with light.
Open up the heavens.
Come and flood this place.
We don’t want a moment.
We want everything.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Wake us up and breathe again.
Light the fire in our veins.
Send down the latter rain.
Let it fall, let it fall,
Till Your love has covered all.
We are ready, we are changed.
Send down the latter rain.
Rain down, rain down,
Spirit, come and rain down.
Rain down, rain down,
Wake this generation now.
There is power in Your name.
There is freedom in this place.
Every shadow has to move
When the room is filled with You.
Let the lonely find a home.
Let the broken know they’re known.
Let the ones who lost their song
Hear the whole room sing along.
Open up the heavens.
Come and flood this place.
We don’t want a moment.
We want everything.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Wake us up and breathe again.
Light the fire in our veins.
Send down the latter rain.
Let it fall, let it fall,
Till Your love has covered all.
We are ready, we are changed.
Send down the latter rain.
Love!
Power!
Holy fire!
Love!
Power!
Take us higher!
Wake up!
Rise up!
Come alive!
This is our time!
This is our time!
We don’t need another headline.
We don’t need another empty high.
We need truth that cuts through the night.
We need Jesus.
We need life.
Keep our hearts awake.
Keep our lamps aflame.
Till the whole world knows Your name.
The King is coming.
The King is coming.
We will not be sleeping.
The King is coming.
The King is coming.
Give us something real to believe in.
Who are we?
A generation waking up!
What do we need?
The Spirit falling down on us!
What do we carry?
Love and power, holy fire!
Send the rain!
Take us higher!
Let it rain, let it rain,
Wake us up and breathe again.
Light the fire in our veins.
Send down the latter rain.
Let it fall, let it fall,
Till Your love has covered all.
We are ready, unashamed.
Send down the latter rain.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Every nation, every name.
Every heart can come alive
In the latter rain tonight.
Rain down, rain down,
Spirit, come and rain down.
Rain down, rain down,
Wake this generation now.
Rain down, rain down,
We are never going back now.
Rain down, rain down,
Send the latter rain down.
Wake us up.
Breathe again.
Light the fire
In our veins.
Jesus is coming.
Keep us awake.
Send down the latter rain. -
2 QUE LLUEVA
Show Lyrics
¿Puedes sentirlo?
Algo está pasando.
¡Que llueva!
Que llueva, que llueva,
Despiértanos una vez más.
Enciende el fuego en nuestro ser.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Que caiga, que caiga,
Hasta cubrirlo todo en amor.
Estamos listos para cambiar.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Santo Espíritu, llueve hoy.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Despierta a esta generación.
Hemos corrido entre el ruido,
Buscando una voz de verdad.
Hoy soltamos todo el peso.
Ya no queremos vivir con temor.
Rompe el orgullo y la presión.
Haz que reviva el corazón.
Ya no veremos desde atrás.
Nacimos para alumbrar.
Abre hoy los cielos.
Inunda este lugar.
No queremos un momento.
Te queremos por completo.
Que llueva, que llueva,
Despiértanos una vez más.
Enciende el fuego en nuestro ser.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Que caiga, que caiga,
Hasta cubrirlo todo en amor.
Estamos listos para cambiar.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Santo Espíritu, llueve hoy.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Despierta a esta generación.
Hay poder en Tu nombre.
Hay libertad en este lugar.
Toda sombra tiene que huir
Cuando Tú llenas este lugar.
Que el que está solo encuentre un hogar.
Que el quebrantado se sepa amado.
Que quien perdió su canción
Oiga a este pueblo cantarla otra vez.
Abre hoy los cielos.
Inunda este lugar.
No queremos un momento.
Te queremos por completo.
Que llueva, que llueva,
Despiértanos una vez más.
Enciende el fuego en nuestro ser.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Que caiga, que caiga,
Hasta cubrirlo todo en amor.
Estamos listos para cambiar.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
¡Amor!
¡Poder!
¡Fuego santo!
¡Amor!
¡Poder!
¡Llévanos más alto!
¡Despierta!
¡Levántate!
¡Vuelve a vivir!
¡Este es nuestro tiempo!
¡Este es nuestro tiempo!
No necesitamos otro titular.
No necesitamos otra emoción fugaz.
Necesitamos verdad en la oscuridad.
Necesitamos a Cristo.
Necesitamos vida.
Mantén despierto el corazón.
Mantén las lámparas ardiendo.
Hasta que el mundo conozca Tu nombre.
El Rey ya viene.
El Rey ya viene.
No estaremos dormidos.
El Rey ya viene.
El Rey ya viene.
Nuestra esperanza está viva en Él.
¿Quiénes somos?
¡Una generación que despierta!
¿Qué necesitamos?
¡Que Tu Espíritu descienda sobre nosotros!
¿Qué llevamos?
¡Amor, poder y fuego santo!
¡Manda la lluvia!
¡Llévanos más alto!
Que llueva, que llueva,
Despiértanos una vez más.
Enciende el fuego en nuestro ser.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Que caiga, que caiga,
Hasta cubrirlo todo en amor.
Estamos listos, sin temor.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Que llueva, que llueva,
Sobre pueblos y naciones.
Cada vida puede despertar
En la lluvia postrera hoy.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Santo Espíritu, llueve hoy.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Despierta a esta generación.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
No volveremos nunca atrás.
Llueve hoy, llueve hoy,
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Despiértanos.
Sopla otra vez.
Enciende el fuego
En nuestro ser.
Jesús ya viene.
Mantennos despiertos.
Manda la lluvia postrera.
Aimee Semple McPherson
While Billy Graham was known as a preacher, Sister Aimee Semple McPherson was a revivalist, and there's a big difference. Certain aspects overlap, but revival is when there's a strong outpouring of the Spirit of God and the gifts and fruits of the Spirit manifesting in real time, as on Pentecost.
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; (Act 2)
Aimee was very fond of the verse: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb.13:8), especially as it pertains to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and how it manifests, including contrition, repentance, weeping, prayer, praise, known and unknown tongues, interpretations, visions, visitations, prophecies, and healings.
Aimee had strong criticisms for the emerging Pentecostals and, at the same time, needed to remind Methodists of their early days when such manifestations were repeated.
She was purposely non-denominational, and that position is prominently displayed at the front of her Angelus Temple.
Nevertheless, her calling also included going around the world preaching Christ with signs following = REVIVAL. No other person could so consistently fill a stadium like Aimee did, beginning with the start of her ministry, with her newlywed husband Robert Semple - at the Royal Albert Hall at age 18 - with no preparations whatsoever (except being yielded to God).
