Legend Of The Raindrop


The legend of the raindrop
Has a lesson for us all
As it trembled in the Heavens
Questioning if it should fall

For the glistening raindrop argued
By the genie of the sky
I am beautiful and lovely
As a sparkle here on high

And hanging here I will become
Part of the rainbow's hue
And I'll shimmer like a diamond
For all the world to view

But the genie told the raindrop
Why do you hesitate to go?
For you will be more beautiful
If you fall to earth below

For you will sink into the soil
And be lost awhile from sight
But when you reappear on earth
You will be looked upon with delight

For you will be the raindrop
That quenched the thirsty ground
And helped the lovely flowers
To blossom all around

And in your resurrection
You'll appear in queenly clothes
With the beauty of the sky
And the fragrance of the rose

For there is nothing lost
Or eternally neglected
For everything God ever made
Is always resurrected

So trust God's all wise wisdom
And doubt the Father never
For in His Heavenly Kingdom
There is nothing lost forever
