Hari
Ini Mau Hujan (It's going to rain today)
Barbara says: 'this song came to me in Indonesian as I was walking home from
work one day (in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) while dark storm clouds were brooding
ready for one of those downpours you get in the tropics. The rain in the tropics
is a real blessing providing resources needed for ecological wealth, cleansing
and all round health. It occurred to me that God's blessings on us are just as
soaking, purifying and generous. Having written the song in Indonesian I then
felt compelled to provide an English version which happily flowed just as easily
as the rain! '
There are a lot
of children in Australian churches who study and know some Indonesian through
their schooling, so this simple song
can be an encouragement to them in both their language studies and their
Christian walk. It also gives them a chance to impress their parents with their
foreign language skills!

is Near
