Just Yesterday I Heard the Rain

by Mary E. Harrington

Just yesterday I heard the rain
It splashed upon my window pane,
Outside there raged a gusty wind
But I was safe and warm within.

My little home was snug and tight,
My heart it held no thoughts of fright,
And as the rain fell from above
I truly knew that God is love.

I knew the storm would not last long
And soon I heard the kettle's song,
Then sitting down to sip some tea
I thanked the Lord for watching me.

And soon I saw the sun appear
I looks and saw a rainbow near,
My eyes beheld a wondrous view
The world all washed so fresh and new.

The wind was hushed now, calm and still,
The wheel was turning by the mill,
I saw sweet blossoms in the lane
And thus I thanked God for the rain.
