A Gentle Rain

A gentle rain was the touch of God —
Healing — bringing healing.

My weary soul, so dry and parched,
Received the living water.

I cannot comprehend Your love, O Lord —
For me, for others.

How can a sound touch my heart so deeply,
Washing cares away?

And to the earth it brings the promise,
That evil will be cleansed by Your love.

And by Your suffering so deeply,
You washed my sins away.

Judge Me Not

Since I am weak and you are strong,
Yes, please correct, but judge me not.

Shouting and yelling just bring fear,
Withdrawal, holding back with tears.

If you would gently point the way,
More likely will I blameless stay.

Because you know a better road,
Please kindly show me; do not goad.

I went about in ignorance;
How can a judged one recompense?

Unless I know your faithful love,
My sins it’s hard to rise above.
