GHS 151 : There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing Lyrics
GHS 151, “There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing,” is a revival hymn built on the promise of Ezekiel 34:26, where God declares that He will cause showers of blessing to come down in their season. Written by El Nathan with music by James McGranahan, the hymn draws a distinction between the mercy drops that fall every day and the full showers of revival that the Church is called to seek and plead for. The mercy drops are wonderful, but the hymn refuses to settle for them when God has promised an abundance of rain.
Its five stanzas press the congregation toward confession, trust, obedience, and earnest calling on the name of Jesus as the conditions under which the showers will fall. This hymn appears as number 151 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it is deeply woven into the DNA of their prayer culture and revival meetings.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 151: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing
- “There shall be showers of blessing:” This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, Sent from the Saviour above.
Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need; Mercy drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead.
-
“There shall be showers of blessing:” Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound of abundance of rain.
-
“There shall be showers of blessing:” Send them upon us, O Lord! Grant to us now a refreshing; Come, and now honour Thy Word.
-
“There shall be showers of blessing:” Oh, that today they might fall, Now, as to God we’re confessing, Now as on Jesus we call!
-
“There shall be showers of blessing:” If we but trust and obey; There shall be seasons refreshing, If we let God have His way.
