Songfacts®:

  • Released on August 7, 2020 during the height of the pandemic, this song is a prayer for the Lord to send his "latter rain" in a time of drought.
  • Can you hear the voices of your people crying out?
    Lord, we need you now, send your grace


    Tamela Mann wrote the song herself as a poignant reminder of God's sovereignty in these troubled times. She told New Release Today: "People are crying out for so many different things. We are needing God's touch. We need a refreshing. We need to know that the Lord is with us."
  • The song spent five weeks at #1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart. "It resonated with people because it was talking about the brokenness in the world," Mann told Billboard. "We've all just been trying to survive. It hit home with everyone."
