Children dancing in the rain, enjoying the song it’s singing.

Granny covers up her head, and calls the young ones in.

Papa’s telling momma, as he reads the evening paper.

He knew that it would rain because; he’d washed the family car.

Momma said, we need the rain Darling, we need the rain.

She said, come let the rain fall on your face, let it wash our cares away,

Lord let your rain fall down on me; let it set our spirits free.

Mom and Daddy stood there with their faces to the sky,

They must have looked half crazy to the people driving by.

Granny said they would catch their death, if they stayed out there that way.

But they were praising Jesus, when they turned to her to say

We need the rain Granny, we need the rain.

They said, come let the rain fall on your face, let it wash our cares away,

Lord let your rain fall down on me; let it set our spirits free.

The years have brought some hard times, Jesus saw us through the pain.

The sky is turning dark again, and I know it’s going to rain

But I’ll remember Daddy, getting up out of his chair,

Joining Momma in the rain, so I’ll praise Jesus there.

I know we need the rain, we need the rain

Sweet Jesus, Come let the rain fall on my face, let it wash my cares away,

Lord let your rain fall down on me; let it set our spirits free.

Fall on me,

Sweet Lord Come let your rain fall on my face, wash my cares away, wash away.
