Forgive As The Lord

Has Forgiven You

(Col 3:13)

Cool showers descend
And are quenching all.
Rain,
Pour;
Deign
More,
Till drought is at end
With your drenching fall.

Then riverbanks burst
With reviving rains.
Fill,
Rush,
Spill,
Gush–
Turn deserts of thirst
Into thriving plains.

With pardon outpoured,
You have thriven too.
Go,
Spout;
Flow
Out!
Forgive as the Lord
Has forgiven you.
