A playful wind was knocking,
in the night of weary;
A lively rain was jumping,
in the dream that sketchy.
I opened the locked doors,
welcoming your naughtiness;
You refreshed the fatigue space
quickening me to join your dance.
Thank you for your visiting, my dear wind and rain~************************************************************
Send your Word, O Lord, like the rain,
falling down upon the earth. Send your Word.
We seek your endless grace,
with souls that hunger and thirst,
sorrow and agonize.
We would all be lost in dark
without your guiding light.
Send your Word, O Lord, like the wind,
blowing down upon the earth. Send your Word.

Send your Word, O Lord, like the rain,
falling down upon the earth. Send your Word.
We seek your endless grace,
with souls that hunger and thirst,
sorrow and agonize.
We would all be lost in dark
without your guiding light.
Send your Word, O Lord, like the wind,
blowing down upon the earth. Send your Word.
We seek your wondrous power,
pureness that rejects all sins,
though they persist and cling.
Bring us to complete victory;
set us all free indeed.
Send your Word, O Lord, like the dew,
coming gently upon the hills. Send your Word.
We seek your endless love.
For life that suffers in strife
with adversities and hurts,
send your healing power of love;
we long for your new world.

Yes, I know we all get weary;
Freedom's journey seems so long.
Yet there's power for the fainting;
Hope can make the weary strong!
Keep alive your flick'ring candle;
Burning out is not for you.
Set your light upon the mountain;
Let your vision see you through.
So go on dreaming, modern seer;
pureness that rejects all sins,
though they persist and cling.
Bring us to complete victory;
set us all free indeed.
Send your Word, O Lord, like the dew,
coming gently upon the hills. Send your Word.
We seek your endless love.
For life that suffers in strife
with adversities and hurts,
send your healing power of love;
we long for your new world.

Go on fighting, steadfast soul!
And the power of the Spirit
Will confirm your spirit's goal!
