Mercy's Rain

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Mercy's Rain


Hearts not touched by love nor pain
Inept to feel sweet Mercy's Rain
Jealousy , hatred , to the core
Kills the soul to live no more
Unfettered grace can but restore


Monstrous greed and evil lurks
Near might and wealth whose duty shirks
Oppressions heavy weight not seen
Poverty and hopeless dreams
Sorrow weeps with silent screams

Quickly come, Oh Lord of Light
Rescue those from life's sad plight
Strengthen hearts to feel no strain
Touched once more with much to gain
When hearts can stand in Mercy's Rain
