HEALING RAIN - Michael W. Smith

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
[repeat]

HAND OF PROVIDENCE - Michael W. Smith

Providence, providence
see it laying down the cornerstone
the hand of providence - it's evident
for we could never make it on our own
apportioning the power
weighing all that it entails
giving us the fulcrum
and a balance to the scales

Chorus:

Oh, the hand of providence
is guiding us through choices that we make
oh, the hand of providence
is reaching out to help us on our way
Providence, ever since
any thesis ever entered man
the hand of providence
has been our best defense
tho' his ways are sometimes hard to understand
from the dying of a heartbeat
to another soul reborn
from in between and circling
our thoughts of love and war

GREAT IS THE LORD - Michael W. Smith

Great is the lord,
he is holy and just
by his power we trust
in his love

he is faithful and true
by his mercy he proves
he is love

Chorus:

Great is the lord
and worthy of glory
great is the lord
and worthy of praise
great is the lord
now lift up your voice
now lift up your voice
great is the lord
great is the lord
Great is the lord,
he is holy and just
by his power we trust
in his love
great is the lord
he is faithful, and true
by his mercy he proves
he is love

Chorus
Great are you lord
and worthy of glory
great are you lord
and worthy of praise
great are you lord
i lift up my voice
i lift up my voice
great are you lord
great are you lord

GO WEST YOUNG MAN - Michael W. Smith

I'm blazing a trail that leads to vice
so easily enticed
by darker means
when out of the wilderness of choice
i hear that one still voice
call to me

Chorus:

Go west young man
go west young man
when the evil go east
go west young man
go west young man
find a heart that's golden
Why must i wander like a cloud
following the crowd
well i don't know
but i'm asking for the will to fight
to wear the crown of life
and you say go

Chorus
The mind is weak the heart is frail
when it goes beyond the pale
so unwise
