I hear rain that breaks like iron, shatters like glass, shimmers like diamonds, redeems like silver and values like gold. I hear rain that lifts like laughter, bends like shadows, leans like old men, jumps like young men, ignites like fire and glows like coal. I hear GOD's rain on the edge of this city, on the top of this mountain, in the middle of this valley to the ports of this sea. I know I hear GOD's rain. Soak us till we swell with mercy. Drench us till we flow in love. Drown us till we drink forgiveness. Wash us till we stand made whole. (Copyright MD)”
