“For many years there’s hardly rain <br />We eat what we can find <br />We have no means to buy more grain <br />Nor food of any kind <br /> <br /> <br />“We’ve nought to eat” the women cry <br />“We’re cursed and have the pest <br />Within our arms our infants die <br />No milk is in our breast <br /> <br /> <br />My sons last week both past away <br />One two years old and three <br />My husband died just yesterday <br />Now left is only me <br /> <br /> <br />Where is this God we hear about? <br />Who meets His children’s need <br />Can Christ bring rain to end this drought? <br />So we can grow life’s seed” <br /> <br /> <br />“The answer's found on bended knee <br />Seeking The Truth in prayer <br />Who'll heed Salvation’s Royal decree <br />Who show how much they care <br /> <br /> <br />Who from their selfish ways depart <br />Who Heaven's Way pursue <br />Who love the Lord within their heart <br />Who love their neighbours too <br /> <br /> <br />God’s promises, are here and now <br />For all who'll understand <br />Before the Living Christ who'll bow <br />Whilst grace, is still at hand <br /> <br /> <br />Too long mankind has gone astray <br />Too long man’s sought but strife <br />It’s time to walk Christ Jesus’ Way <br />The only Way to life”<br /><br />Michael P.
