When I see Rainbow on the Sea

The
sky is dark it's windy out tonight


Sounds
in the deep rent the clouds in crescendo


Chickens gone to their roost, wind blows cold


Through
the thunders and stormy gale glory proclaimed


 


Lord
d' you see me through the lightening flash in this dark night?


Perhaps twas you speaking when the thunders my heart
asunder rent


I
heard the bird sing when by the river bank I sat lonely and
quiet


But
what the message, my undiscerning ears let understand


 


Yester-night
a Lil boy came knocking at my door


He
has no home, no, not food, yet his feet were sore


Having face an image of a creator, but he's naked and
famished


How
can I imagine that's you calling on me to save a soul
tonight?


 


Rainbow
of many colours adorned my horizons with beauty


The
seas would not o'er-flow just because ts a promise to
keep


The
typhoons and oceans speak volume of your power and
mystery


My
undiscerning ears Lord, teach to understand your weird
speeches
