Lyrics

If this is your power, If this is your glory, If this is your presence, Then let it rain.


Let it rain all over, let it rain all over me


Let it rain all over, let it rain all over me


Let it rain all over, let it rain all over me


If this is your power


If this is you glory


If this is your presence, let it rain.


Let it rain all over me


Let it rain all over me


All over me


Break me, mould me, fill me, use me


Break me, mould me, fill me, use me


Use me for your glory, Use me for your power


Break me, mould me, fill me, use me


Let it rain, Let it rain on me

Meaning & Inspiration

“Let It Rain” uses rain as an image for the felt presence and work of God. Its central request joins power, glory, and presence in a simple prayer for God to move personally and completely. The repeated phrase “all over me” keeps the emphasis on openness to divine influence rather than on a literal change in weather.

The later appeal, “Break me, mould me, fill me, use me,” develops the song’s theme of surrender. Each verb asks for transformation, renewal, and service, ending with a desire to be used for God’s glory. The rain imagery may call to mind Hosea 6:3, which compares the Lord’s coming to life-giving showers, while the prayer to be shaped and used closely fits the potter-and-clay picture in Isaiah 64:8. Together, these themes make the lyric both an invitation for God’s presence and a confession of availability. Dependence is not treated as passive; it leads toward a life formed for worship and service.
