Lyrics
Verse 1
Let this be a house where you long to stay
Let it be a place you dwell
Where you are our cornerstone
Let it be a place for you
Chorus
Come like the wind
Fall like the rain
We need your presence now in this place
God be enthroned
Here in our praise
We're never turning back have your way
Verse 2
Let the doors be open to the lost
Every story welcome here
You can change this heart of stone
And let it beat for You alone
Chorus (Repeat)
Come like the wind
Fall like the rain
We need your presence now in this place
God be enthroned
Here in our praise
We're never turning back have your way
Bridge 1
I see the church arising
I see it taking ground
I see Your spirit working
I see it
Bridge 2
I see the things we prayed for
I see them come to life
I see revival stirring
I see it
Verse 3
Let the church become the bride You saw
As you took Your final breath
So with every voice we'll lift the song
Of the one who is to come

Meaning & Inspiration
“Come Like the Wind” by LifePoint Worship is a prayer for God’s presence in a gathered church. The first verse asks that the place be one where God longs to stay and dwells, with Him as the cornerstone, which is close to Ephesians 2:20-22 where the church is built into a dwelling for God. The chorus asks Him to come like the wind and fall like the rain, to be enthroned in the praise, and says the singers are never turning back.
The wind and rain images recall Acts 2:2 and Hosea 6:3. The second verse opens the doors to the lost, saying every story is welcome, and asks God to change a heart of stone so that it beats for Him alone, echoing Ezekiel 36:26.
The bridges move from prayer to vision: “I see the church arising” and “I see revival stirring.” The last verse asks that the church become the bride Christ saw, and looks ahead to the one who is to come. The message is a longing for revival that welcomes the lost and honors Christ.
