Thursday's Thoughts: In Time Of Silver Rain

 

"Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; the Lord makes the storm clouds
and he will give everyone showers of rain and crops in the field."
(Zechariah 10:1)

In time of silver rain

The earth puts forth new life again,

Green grasses grow

And flowers lift their heads,

All over the plain

The wonder spreads

Of Life!

Of Life!

Of Life!

In the time of silver rain

The butterflies lift silken winds

To catch a rainbow cry,

And trees put forth new leaves to sing

In joy beneath the sky

As down the roadway

Passing boys and girls

Go singing, too,

In time of silver rain  When spring

And life

Are New.
