Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
Let it rain, let it rain
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad
Let the distance shores rejoice
Clouds and thick darkness surround him
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne
A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side
His lightning lights up the world
The earth sees and trembles
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord
Before the Lord of all the earth
The Heavens proclaim His righteousness
And all peoples will see His Glory
Open the floodgates of Heaven
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
Let it rain, let it rain
We want to see Your Glory, God!
Do you want to see His Glory?
Lift your voices, lift your hands!
Let it rain, let it rain.
Open the floodgates of Heaven
(Repeat)

Michael W. Smith’s “Let It Rain” is a call for God’s presence to be poured out like rain from heaven. The lyrics draw from Psalm 97, describing the Lord reigning with righteousness and justice, while creation trembles at His power. The repeated request to open the floodgates reflects a longing to see His glory. The song invites listeners to lift their voices and hands in response to God’s majesty.
