Listen! He Comes

     As I listen intently to the thunder in "A Friendly Shade" and patiently wait for the coming rain shower I remembered that God lives everywhere.  He is with me at all times- through joy, disappointments, and hardships.  If  I will just "Stop" and listen, He is there.

He comes!

Echoing through the mountains,
rumbling through the trees
silently through the breeze.

He comes!

Roaring like a lion,
charging through the wind,
quietly in the silence of the mind.

Listen!  He comes.

Peacefully in the Spirit,
truthfully in the word,
faithfully in prayers, heard.

He comes!

Calmly giving life,
hourly giving peace,
daily giving increase.   

Listen!  He comes.

Brightly through the lightening,
loudly through the thunder,
joyfully through the rainbow wonder.

He comes!

Loudly through the traffic,
zooming through the rush hour,
silently through the rain shower. 

Listen!  He comes.
