Ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray. Upon the mountain my Lord spoke. Out His mouth came fire and smoke; Looked all around me, it looked so fine, 'til I asked my Lord if all was mine. Ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray. Jordan river is chilly an' cold. It chills the body, but not the soul; There ain't but one train upon this track. It runs to heaven an' right back. Ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray. Ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, ev'ry time I feel the spirit, moving in my heart, I will pray. Yes, I will pray.

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up And the sun does not appear I...I will be here If in the dark we lose sight of love Hold my hand and have no fear 'Cause I...I will be here I will be here... When you feel like bein' quiet When you need to speak your mind I will listen And I will be here When the laughter turns to cryin' Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin' We'll be together 'Cause I will be here Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up And the future is unclear I...I'll be here Just as sure as seasons are made for change Our lifetimes are made for these years I...I will be here I will be here.... You can cry on my shoulder When the mirror tells us we're older I will hold you And I will be here To watch you grow in beauty And tell you all the things you mean to me I will be here I will be true To the promise I have made To you and to the One who gave you to me I...I will be here And just as sure as seasons are made for change Our lifetimes are made for these years 'Cause I... I will be here.... We'll be together 'Cause I will be here

I wish I had what I needed To be on my own 'Cause I feel so defeated And I'm feeling alone And it all seems so helpless And I have no plans I'm a plane in the sunset With nowhere to land And all I see It could never make me happy And all my sand castles Spend their time collapsing Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough It's my birthday tomorrow No one here could know I was born this Thursday 22 years ago And I feel stuck Watching history repeating Yeah, who am I? Just a kid who knows he's needy Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough

You taste the tears You're lost in sorrow You see your yesterdays I see tomorrow You see the darkness I see the spark You know your failures But I know your heart The dreams I dream for you Are deeper that the ones you're clinging to More precious than the finest things you knew And truer than the treasures you pursue Let the old dreams die Like stars that fade from view Then take the cup I offer And drink deeply of The dreams I dream for you You see your shame But I see your glory You've read one page I know the story I hold a vision That you'll become As you grow into the truth As you learn to walk in love Let the old dreams die Like stars that fade from view Then take the cup I offer And drink deeply of The dreams I dream for you

Lord make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, let there be pardon. Where there is doubt, let there be faith. Where there is despair, let there be hope. Where there is darkness, let there be light. And where there is sadness, let there be joy. O divine master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love For it is in giving that we receive- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And it's in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Gratitude 04:06
Send some rain, would You send some rain? 'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud? Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid But maybe not, not today Maybe You'll provide in other ways And if that's the case We'll give thanks to You with gratitude For lessons learned in how to thirst for You How to bless the very sun that warms our face If You never send us rain Daily bread, give us daily bread Bless our bodies, keep our children fed Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight Wrap us up and warm us through Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time Or maybe not, not today Maybe You'll provide in other ways And if that's the case We'll give thanks to You with gratitude A lesson learned to hunger after You That a starry sky offers a better view If no roof is overhead And if we never taste that bread Oh, the differences that often are between Everything we want and what we really need So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace Move our hearts to hear a single beat Between alibis and enemies tonight Or maybe not, not today Peace might be another world away And if that's the case We'll give thanks to You with gratitude For lessons learned in how to trust in You That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream In abundance or in need And if You never grant us peace But, Jesus, would You please

Cannons 03:26
It's falling from the clouds A strange and lovely sound I hear it in the thunder and rain It's ringing in the skies Like cannons in the night The music of the universe plays You are holy great and mighty The moon and the stars declare who You are I'm so unworthy, but still You love me Forever my heart will sing of how great You are Beautiful and free Song of Galaxies It's reaching far beyond the milky way Lets join in with the sound C'mon let's sing it loud As the music of the universe plays All glory, honor, power is Yours amen All glory, honor, power is Yours amen All glory, honor, power is Yours forever amen

Oh Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works thy hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed; Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook, and feel he gentle breeze; And when I think that God his son not sparing, Sent him to die - I scarce can take it in, That on the cross my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin: When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home- what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Silent Night 02:45
Silent night! Holy night! All is calm all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace! Sleep in heavenly peace! Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah Christ the Saviour is born! Christ the Saviour is born! Silent night! Holy night! Son of God love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at thy birth, Jesus, Lord at thy birth.

We are slaves to these age-old afflictions Fighting for control 'till we fell too far Pursue desire, ignore our convictions Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars We are calling out in the thick of the war I am standing down to fight for something more Would we cease these battles, let this love resound Still too hard to find our common ground There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way And we try so hard to heal our diseases We break to pieces when our hope has failed Some will live or die without a reason Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails We are lost and found and beg to be restored We keep falling down, harder than before But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on Sorrow for now, but someday soon will be gone There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way So we come and go, it's still a mystery And we'll be history long before we find All the secrets since now and forever We hope for better on the other side God, hear the cries of Your people! There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way There's a fire that stays bold and courageous There's a light to light the way
11.
You are the hand that catches my fall You are the friend that answers my call You are my day, You are my night You are my love and all of my life You are the love I need You are the air I breathe You are my love my life always forever I would lay down my life Just to be by Your side You are my love my life always forever You are the grace that covers my sin You're everything the beginning and end You have my soul, my heart and my mind You have my love and all of my life Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, forever
12.
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering And all the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things 'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love As if every promise from Your word is not enough And all the while, You hear each desperate plea And long that we'd have faith to believe 'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise When friends betray us When darkness seems to win We know that pain reminds this heart That this is not, This is not our home It's not our home 'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy What if trials of this life The rain, the storms, the hardest nights Are your mercies in disguise

about

Taken from the song “Gratitude,” the lyrics “send some rain,” strongly
resonate with FCS’s journey and hopes in producing this CD. In the past year and a half, we faced numerous obstacles, both technical and spiritual. However, it was through these tests of patience and faith that we were able to truly discover from where our joy, hope, and purpose in producing this CD come.

In choosing the title “Send Some Rain,” we desire to make known God’s power and also His abundant mercy. Just as the earth pleads for rain during a drought, there are often moments in our lives when our own strength fails. It is in these times of need that we turn to God and know that He is the one true provider of peace, comfort, and healing. It is our hope that the songs on this CD not only represent an outpouring of the joy that we have as an a cappella group, but also the refreshing and restoring love that God offers to those who seek Him.

With joy and gratitude to our Father, we present to you “Send Some Rain.”
