Miracle in the desert

 Miracle in the Desert

There may be a little cloud 

In the desert sky up there

Our cries are becoming loud

All through this tearful nightmare

We need the rain to wash it

We need blessings from on High

A sweet miracle to hit

That we may breathe a good sigh

Hope is lingering in us

But please make it rain again

So we may leave all this fuss

Behind, and enjoy our gain

We pray for Divine healing

Our faith sees the little cloud

And our hearts are still singing 

Hurt, but of the fight we're proud

Humbled in this tough ordeal

We walk sad through the desert

Life has served us a bad deal

We are pursued by this dirt

We need a great rain to clean

This mad invisible mess

We sing for flowers to glean

A new spring and nothing less

We yearn for Holy breakthrough

For life to come back and bloom

And God to see our earth through

We dream of days without gloom

Carl Edward Nicolas
