Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

The Umbrella of Life

THE UMBRELLA OF LIFE

There is an umbrella called life
Spread over all the earth
It contains some strife
But it also has great worth

This red umbrella provides protection
From the problems we all face
We have not been granted perfection
As we run the course of life's race

But we have a Redeemer to look to
When the strife is hard to bear
He will always see us through
With gentle loving care

When the heavy rain is falling
He is there to calm the storm
He hears us when we're calling
And He keeps us from all harm

Call upon Him when storm clouds rise
He will protect you from the strife
He will give you bright blue skies
Underneath the red umbrella of life
