"Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord...He will come to us like the rain..." Hosea 6:3
His presence, like the rain, is a gift. The crystalline drops awaken our senses, and we who thirst find ourselves drenched by the sweetness of His mercy. We are swept away by flood of His power and love. His rain-like presence showers us, washing us, cleansing us. The trace of our infidelity, of our acts of harlotry are all wiped clean, and we come away smelling like the fragrance of the earth after the rain.
His presence, like the rain, is a gift. He comes to us and brings delight to our parched, shriveled souls, and the moisture of His love is like a kiss that astounds us, revives us, and the dried-up, wrinkled terrains of our hearts becomes an oasis of His grace. And we come to life. The singing of the rain is a lullaby, soothing, calming. His presence, like a lovesong, woos us, breaking our barriers, and ultimately, changing us.
His presence, like the rain, is a gift...

Would you be willing to let me borrow this and compose a melody. I love it.
