Refreshing Rains

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

**********

Is heart dry as an arid land?

Need showers from God's hand?

Come, hot and tired and weary, rest

Be in God's presence blessed

 

Showers upon the thirst ground

He shall scatter around

The parched grass shall be green again

He shall refresh it then

 

And too, water of life he be

To quench our dry souls, see

Inspire us with His Spirit, so

His graces we shall know

 

O leave us, Lord, not desolate

As if in desert set

May streams abound, your healing balm

Protect us from all harm

    Now we have a lot of rain. I can understand how you have to wait for it.

        Thanks N. How come it's not refreshing if we do have it 40 days in a row - the St Swithin waffle?! Hmm.

          I don't understand the first thing about St Swithin, orchi - I've never met the bloke - who is he?
          Wot I do know definitely is that after forty days in a row, the novelty has definitely worn off.....

          The sky raineth and the sky taketh away. Feast or famine these days, dear friend, depending on where you are under the heavens. Good Write!
