1. Ask for the showers of blessing,
Ye shall not seek Me in vain;
After the voice of confessing,
Sound of abundance of rain.
Refrain
Ask for the rain, ask not in vain;
I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
And floods upon the dry ground.
2. Bring all the ‘tithes’ to My storehouse,
Prove Me herewith, saith the Lord;
Windows of Heaven shall open,
Wonderful blessings be poured. [Refrain]
3. Mine all the gold and the silver,
Mine all the houses and lands;
Blood-bought are ye and your children,
See the nail-prints in My hands. [Refrain]
