Lyrics
Chorus
Oh, it’s raining all around me
I can feel it, it’s a latter rain
Ride on Jesus, please send more rain
Until we are wet, until we are soaked
In the latter rain
Chorus (Repeat)
It’s raining all around me
I can feel it, it’s a latter rain
Ride on Jesus, please send more rain
Until we are wet, until we are soaked
In the latter rain
Call
It’s raining, come on!
Chorus
Oh, it’s raining all around me
I can feel it, it’s a latter rain
Ride on Jesus, please send more rain
Until we are wet, until we are soaked
Until we are wet, until we are soaked
Until we are
Outro
Wet, wet, wet, soaked, soaked, soaked
Wet, wet, wet, soaked, soaked, soaked
Wet, wet, wet, soaked, soaked, soaked
Wet, wet, wet, soaked, soaked, soaked

Meaning & Inspiration
In this short reggae-inflected recording, Marvia Providence uses rain as the central image for a prayer asking Jesus for spiritual renewal. The repeated refrain and call-and-response lines make the song work like congregational praise: the singer names what she feels - a "latter rain" already falling - then asks for the outpouring to continue rather than pass by.
That phrase draws on Joel 2:23, where the latter rain signals restoration after a stretch of drought, an image echoed again in James 5:7. The song's language moves in one direction only, from rain falling nearby to being completely soaked, so the main idea is not observation but a request for fuller participation in what is already happening. The closing outro strips the lyric down to a single pair of words repeated - wet, soaked - letting sound stand in for the saturation the verses describe, ending the song inside the image itself rather than commenting on it further.
