Ruin me

I can hear the sound of rain
Coming to hearts and lives again
I can see a cloud on the horizon
Moving faster, stronger, overshadowing

There He goes, watch Him ride!
Victorious One with His sword on His thigh
Faithful and true they call Him
Beautifully terrible they say
Magnificent in splendor and able
To break into our lives today

The Spirit of the Lord is searching
Going to and fro throughout the earth
Weighing hearts and lives of men
He’s looking, seeking, and He will find
Hearts aflame that are fully His

He is near today like a jealous flame
He is close now, and brightly shining
All glorious one, and yet humble
The Majestic, approachable being

So let it rain across this land
Let the floodgates of Heaven be opened
Send Lightning from Your Throne
And may Your Word run swift on

How famous is the Almighty One?
How commanding is this Presence?
How prevailing is His will?
Drawing near again and again

And now I run out into the field unhindered
Pellets and sheets of rain falling down
Drenched now, soaked and dripping
Saturated by the charisma of a Holy King

Here is the one who loves to give good gifts
Here is the King who loves to bless
Delighting to give to us everything we need

And so I
Open Your Word
Enter into worship
Lift a heart again in prayer
And let Your goodness overtake
How much more can a man be ruined?
