Rain, snow and hail fall down, down, down Compost and fertilizer worked into the ground From these come sprouting living growth Faithful like keepers of the oath The jesters mock us all about Doing their best to drown us out But like us, their jig is up Time to pour out from the cup The greatest good still lies in God Who comes to rule by Throne and Rod Water of Life for those who will Freely given to cure our ill Up, look up, behold the grace As we rise from the sunken place pic: Xan Griffin Unsplash.com
