Lyrics and Chords: 1st capo C Intro: 1C / / / / / / / F / / / / / / / C / / / / / / / G / / / F / / / C / / / / / /

See the rain and the snowfall coming down from heaven,

G C

see it journey, to the ground below.

Watering the earth, see it bud and flourish,

G C

yielding all the seed that the sower has to sow.

F C

Oh Lordy, what ya tryin’ to teach us?

G C

Oh Lordy, what ya want to say? C / / / / / / / F / / / / / / / C / / / / / / / G / / / F / / / C / / / / / /

Hear my word a comin down from heaven,

it’s just like the rainfall, just like the snow.

It will not return to me without achieving,

all that was meant for the people down below!

Oh Lordy, what ya tryin’ to teach us?

Oh Lordy what ya want to say?

The mountains and the hills will sing out before you,

the trees of the field will clap their hands in joy.

And where thorns grew, instead you’ll see the pine tree,

and myrtle, where the briar ought to go.

“O People, my word is here to teach ya.

Oh People, listen well today!” Chorus X 2
