rain down on us

Psalm 27:8-11

⁸ My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek. ⁹ Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior. ¹⁰ Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. ¹¹ Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

the context of this passage is that david continues to seek God even though he is surrounded by trouble. his enemies wish to destroy him and yet, david's heart continues to seek God. He asks God to teach him His ways,, he doesn't depend on anything/anyone else. i really like verse 10 as well.. there are times where i feel like no one is there for me.. or when i'm having a hard time and i vent out to those who are closest to me, there's still that emptiness within me, thinking that venting out to others don't help. but even though those who love us the most might seem distant from you from time to time, God will always be there. He never changes. you can always depend on Him being there for you and leading you in the right paths.

shane and shane wrote a song based on psalm 27:

In the light of the King's face there is life
Giving favor to His children like a cloud of rain
Rain is falling in His presence on our thirsty hearts
As we seek the knowledge of your will
Oh God impart

Oh never, ever ending river
fill us up

Rain down upon us
Rain down upon us
We need You
We need You
Rain down

One thing we ask and Lord we humbly seek
That in Your shelter we can hide and gaze upon the King
In His presence we find fullness we are satisfied
Come, Lord Jesus, let us look upon You with enlightened eyes
