Rain Showers and Sun [07.19.08]

We can depend on God to fulfill his promise, even when all the roads leading to it are closed. --Matthew Henry

Eyes closed she turns her face heavenward. The rain pours down on her with no sign that it will be letting up, but yet the sun shines dancing between the clouds.

My words...will come true at their proper time Luke 1:20
What the Lord has said...will be accomplished. Luke 1:45

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things
a loving heart has waited long to see;
Those words be fulfilled to which she clings,
Because her God has promised faithfully;
And, knowing him, she ne'er can doubt His word;
He speaks and it is done. The mighty Lord!

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,
O burdened heart, rest ever in His care;
In quietness beneath His shadowing wings
Await the answer to your longing prayer.
When you have "cast your cares," the heart then sings,
The Lord is sure to accomplish those things.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things
O tired heart, believe and wait and pray;
Peacefully, the evening chime still rings,
Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.
Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars
The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,
O trusting heart, the Lord to you has told;
Let Faith and Hope arise, and lift their wings,
to soar toward the sunrise clouds of gold;
the doorways of the rosy dawn swing wide,
Revealing joys the darkness of night did hide.
