God's Rainbow

It's been so dry the last few weeks,
The yards and gardens were dry and crisp.
But then the rain came, and such a blessing,
With livelihoods at risk.

The hay was all drying up,
Where farmers needed it for feed.
For winter soon will be here,
And all that hay they'll need.

But always when we pray,
God hears our desperate cry.
And He's always there for us,
Even until the day we die.

Sometimes we complain if it's too dry,
Or maybe too much rain.
We're never satisfied with what God gives,
We're always going to complain.

God's word tells us to be content,
In whatever our state we might be.
For we can do all things,
Through Christ which strengthens me.

There is always a happy ending,
To each season that we face.
When dry, the showers God sends,
To liven up the place.

And most of the time will appear,
A rainbow in the sky,
Bringing smiles to our faces,
As clouds start passing by.

We never know what a day might bring,
But most surely it will be,
A Blessing to us all,
On that we must agree.

For God gives only good things,
If we ask Him and believe.
He'll give us what we ask for,
Unless we're praying selfishly.

For there is a rainbow in the sky,
After all the rain has ended,
And a sky so full of color,
So bright and carefully blended.
