Is There Any Rain?” — Jeremiah 14
Verse 1 — The Land in Drought
The word of the Lord came dry as dust
No rain to fall, no soil to trust
Judah mourns, her gates grow weak
The ground is cracked, no strength to speak
The nobles send their servants down
To search for wells in every town
They find no water, jars come back
Ashamed, confused, the earth is black
Chorus — A People Brought Low
Our joy is gone, our heads are bowed
The heavens silent, clouds not found
Even deer forsake their young
Because the fields are overrun
We wait for rain… we wait for grace
But drought has marked this broken place
Verse 2 — Jeremiah’s Intercession
Though our sins testify aloud
O Lord, act for Your name now
Our rebellions rise and stand
We have sinned against Your hand
Why are You like a passing guest?
A traveler who will not rest
Why like a warrior, stunned and still
Unable now to save at will?
Yet You are here, Your name we bear
Do not forsake us in despair
Chorus — Hope Appealed to God’s Name
You are the hope of Israel
Our Savior when the night has fell
Though guilt is great and truth is clear
For Your name’s sake, stay near
We have no ground on which to stand
But mercy rests within Your hand
Bridge — The False Prophets Exposed
The prophets say, “You will not fall
No sword, no famine — peace for all”
But You replied, “I did not send
These lying words they now defend
They speak a vision of their heart
Not from My mouth, not from My part
So sword and famine they will meet
Along the roads and in the streets”
Verse 3 — God’s Refusal to Relent
Say to them, “Let My tears run free
Night and day continually
For virgin daughter, crushed and torn
A grievous wound no balm has borne”
If I go out, I see the slain
If I stay in, famine reigns
Prophet and priest roam land and town
Yet do not know what’s coming down
Final Chorus — Judgment Withheld No Longer
Though they fast and cry aloud
I will not hear their broken sound
Though offerings rise in smoke and flame
I will not turn away the blame
Sword and famine, plague will stand
The cost of walking from My hand
Outro — The Weight of Silence
We wait beneath a silent sky
No rain, no word, no clear reply
Yet still the truth is standing tall
The Lord is just… in drought and all
