Parish News for Sunday 13th June 2010

Tears to Rainbows

Tears are not burdens, for our shoulders to bear.

But a gentle reminder that our Lord is right there.

The waterfall of sorrow that flows from our eyes.

Cast a beautiful rainbow sent from the vast skies.

The tears that flow so freely without end,

Goes to the inner most depth of the heart, my friend.

It is in that place where we hear the replies

Of our many questions of our where's, what's and why's.

So the next time you feel a tear begin to cloud your eye,

Or gaze at a rainbow covering the sky.

Know there's a pot of gold at your rainbow's end,

It's from you Dear Saviour, the friend of all friends
