NOTE: “SHEKINAH” (shuh-KEE-nuh) is a Hebrew term to describe God’s glory coming to rest among us in the temporal realm. See Ex. 25:22, Lev. 16:2, 2 Sam. 6:2, 2 Ki 19:14-15, Psa. 80:1, Is. 37:16, Eze. 9:3, 10:18, and Heb. 9:5. (Hebrew pronunciation: sheh-kee-NAH.)
Rain Down Shekinah
When Your presence blows in
Like a sweet, wild wind
And Your Ruach breathes out holy fire
Then I know I was born
To be flooded with You
And to lose every worldly desire
Chorus:
Oh rain down, Shekinah
My flesh cannot stand
Before Him whom the angels extol
Oh mark me, Shekinah
With clear, blazing brand
King of glory engulfing my soul
Shining column of cloud
Roaring pillar of flame
Come to rest on my holiest place
Precious power that raised up
My crucified Lamb
Now create here Your altar of grace
Chorus:
Oh rain down, Shekinah
My flesh cannot stand
Before Him whom the angels extol
Oh mark me, Shekinah
With clear blazing brand
King of glory engulfing my soul
King of glory engulfing my soul
