Even me by John E. Roberts — Lyrics
1 Lord, I hear of show’rs of blessing
Thou art scatt’ring full and free,
Show’rs the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me.
Refrain
Even me, even me,
Let some drops now fall on me.
2 Pass me not, O gracious Father!
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might’st leave me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy fall on me.
3 Pass me not, O tender Savior!
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;

About Even me
This powerful anthem is a fervent plea for divine grace, perfect for services of commitment or revival. The text, a prayer for spiritual refreshment, asks for the 'drops' of God's blessing to fall upon the singer. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to underscore the devotional message. The composer John E. Roberts sets these well-known words with a directness that suits their earnest plea. The repeated refrain, 'Even me, even me,' emphasizes the personal nature of the request, making it an ideal choice for a choir seeking to convey deep spiritual longing and hope to their congregation.
