Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 8/9

Clouds are clouds are clouds...

 

No matter how thick, how dark, how foreboding,
no matter how gray, how gloomy and grim,
no matter the wind and the rain they portend:
   clouds are clouds are clouds...

No matter the thunderhead shrouding the heavens,
no matter the rumbling rolling within,
no matter the lightning piercing their veil:
   clouds are clouds are clouds...

And clouds will break and clouds will clear
and clouds will pass and soon reveal
what clouds will never wipe away:
    the sun, the moon, 

    the stars, the sky,
    the new day's dawn,
    the hope it brings...

 

Lord

let nothing shield me from your light, 

let nothing hide your face from me,
let nothing overscast my hope 

of what I trust I'll see once more

when clear skies reign again...

 

For clouds are only clouds, Lord,

    but you're the rising sun,

    you're the light that never fades,

    you're the day that never ends,

    you're the radiance of wisdom,

    you're the dawn that comes each morning

    though the skies be clear or gray...

 

For clouds are clouds are clouds, Lord:

    clouds are only clouds... 

 

Amen.
