The first time our own now-disbanded gospel choir, Grace & Glory, did this song I got absolute goosebumps. My wife and I, in a move that might have seemed odd to some, had G & G members do the song for our wedding. Strange to hear a joyful song about impending judgement, but there it is. And I don't think the emotions are misplaced. Lord, help me to "get on in this house" -- among your people -- so that I am not as vulnerable to my own stormy inner world or to the fiery rain of temptations which face me from outside directions. Help me find you among yours so I can tell those not yet yours about you... and find shelter.
Thompson Community Singers (Milton Brunson) - "It's Gonna Rain"
Sopranos:
Can't you see the clouds gathering?
Altos:
Don't let it be said too late.
Tenors:
There's a brand new feeling in the air.
Baritones:
Better run to the ark, before the rain starts.
Chorus:
(You better come on in this house),
(it's gonna rain), it's gonna rain.
(Rain down fire),
(it's gonna rain), come on in this house.
(Come on in this house),
(it's gonna rain), it's gonna rain.
(Rain down fire),
(it's gonna rain), come on in this house.
(Doors have been) opened wide open,
just call His name, don't wait too late
because it's gonna rain.
Vamp:
Come on follow me,
it's gonna rain.
Ending:
(Doors have been) opened wide open,
just call His name, don't wait too late
because it's gonna rain.
