William McDowell's 'Send The Rain' is a passionate worship song that expresses a deep longing for spiritual revival and the presence of God. The lyrics convey a sense of hunger and thirst for God, as the singer and congregation wait patiently for His glory to be released. The repeated refrain about praying, sowing, and crying out for heaven to send the rain symbolizes a desire for God's refreshing and transformative power. The song emphasizes waiting on God and recognizing that nothing else satisfies the soul. It's a heartfelt plea for revival, rooted in a posture of surrender and expectancy.

I hear the sound of revival
Deep in the hearts of your people
Send it now, we want it now
I hear the sound of revival
Deep in the hearts of your people
Send it now, we need it now
Release your glory, send your glory
We're hungry, we're thirsty for you, we want you
We're patiently waiting for you, we need you
We're hungry, we're thirsty for you, we want you
We're patiently waiting for you, we need you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you
Lord we will wait for you
Cause all we want is you...
That's why we wait for you
Cause nothing else will do
We've been praying, we've been sowing
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain
We've been praying, we've been sowing
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain
send the rain
We've been praying, we've been sowing
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain
send the rain
We've been praying, we've been sowing
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain
send the rain
We're hungry, we're thirsty for you, we want you
We're patiently waiting for you, we need you
