The Last Drop of Water

THE LAST DROP OF WATER

Clouds of despair will block out our sun
Trials and burdens each weighing a ton

God brings those clouds into your life
Not without conflict, discord or strife

Are they punishment or sent to refresh
Love incarnate through a Saviours flesh

Do not flee from raindrops that may fall
Let them linger enough for mercy’s recall

Grace will fall –heavenly drops from above
Till the last drop of water-a chastising love

Thanks Drake-- inspired by recent trials and tribulations and the stormy weather here today in Cape Town. I have been busy formatting my second publication-- time consuming so haven't been writing much. Anyway, it hit the printers table today, so I am "free' to write once again.
