奥克拉荷马，这个南方最著名的龙卷风之城，在一个闷热潮湿的傍晚，眼看着在大平原的不远之处，一个新的龙卷风眼正在形成，乌云压城，气势险峻！

初来乍到，本想沿着老运河走走看看，雨点便及时地哗哗啦啦滴落下来，运河的船夫忙着收桨。



P2

不多的行人们奔跑着躲雨，而我这个来自加州的出差人却愣愣地站着，似乎已经忘记了躲雨的本能。

顷刻之间，一场倾盆大雨便铺天盖地在城市的天空。

我躲在屋檐下，在轰鸣的雨声中，想起一首歌，Michael W. Smith 的《Healing  Rain》，似乎唱的就是这座城市，Old and New, Rich and Poor，

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Toby Keith 的餐厅：I Love This Bar And Grill， 我喜欢的乡村歌手，我喜欢的南方烤肉，世间的种种，肉体的愉悦，在这突如其来的暴雨中，也变得遥远而模糊。


P7

歌里唱的其实是我们自己，Lost and Found, Joy and Shame,

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

P8

雨势渐弱，鸟儿开始回来觅食，

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain


P9


大雨洗过的天空和城市，一切都是新的，

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

风停雨未止，夏天的热浪稍有平息，奥克拉荷马市，在一个雨后的傍晚里，在赞美中，经历医治。

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...
