Lyrics
Verse 1
Tu es celui qui ouvre les yeux des aveugles
Tu es celui qui change les vies
Tu prononces une parole et ceux qui étaient morts reprennent vie, Jésus
Verse 2
Tu es celui qui a inspiré cette œuvre
Qui la mènera jusqu'au bout
Tu avais décidé d'écrire cette histoire avec nous
Chorus (Repeat x4)
Maintenant Seigneur, souffle sur nos pays
Envahis nos villages, viens toucher nos familles
Maintenant Seigneur, fais connaître le nom
Qui peut guérir les nations
Le nom de Jésus Christ
Verse 3
Les défis sont grands, nous en avons conscience
Tu les connais mieux que nous, Jésus
Mais nous voulons croire que rien n'est impossible
Saint-Esprit, nous demandons que maintenant
Chorus (Repeat x2)

Fais tomber la pluie du ciel

Ouvre les écluses, Seigneur
Fais tomber la pluie du ciel

Fais tomber la pluie
Fais tomber la pluie du ciel

Meaning & Inspiration
"Maintenant Seigneur" ("Now, Lord") opens by addressing Jesus directly through a series of remembered miracles, opening blind eyes, changing lives, speaking a word that raises the dead, treating these described acts as the basis for the prayer that follows. Naming Jesus as the one who inspired the very work being carried out ties present ministry directly to that same power.
Its chorus shifts from remembered miracle to present request, asking God to breathe on nations, touch families, and make known the name capable of healing entire nations. That corporate scope, request extended to countries and villages rather than only individuals, frames the song as intercession for collective rather than personal need.
A later section changes imagery entirely, asking repeatedly for rain to fall from the opened windows of heaven, language drawn from a well-known prophetic promise of overflowing blessing. Sung in French within Central African worship tradition, the song functions as an extended prayer for revival, its repeated requests treating spiritual outpouring as both urgently needed and confidently expected.
