Analysis of Let It Rain.
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
LET IT RAIN
The burning of the fire
The choking of the flood
The times when cruel Adversity
Turned goodness into mud.
I knew your Fatherly passion
But whither has it gone.
You seem now to be elsewhere
Oh Father God please come.
Now Jesus knows my being
My circumstance and pain.
He intercedes so sweetly.
So Father, LET IT RAIN.
With mercy and with guidance
With retribution too.
I watch those demons fleeing
And cheer as You pursue.
