Leaves falling early
Nature witnesses drought
Farmers’ harvest dwindles
Future seeming in doubt
Nation in crisis
Hopeful news faces drought
Today fills with darkness
Tomorrow seeks fresh route
World’s chaos deepens
Suffocated in drought
Actions for peace missing
Voices of anguish sprout
Leaves filling with green
Rainfall erases drought
Farmers’ outlook restored
Future transformed from doubt
Nation’s common ground
Compromise quelling drought
Hope’s spirit rekindled
Tomorrow walks new route
World commits to peace
Goodwill overcomes drought
Togetherness . . . one goal
Voices of courage sprout

From Isaiah 55:3: “Incline your ear, and come to Me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant.”
Hear this, all who thirst
Come to these still waters
Blessed with Father’s grace
Every son and daughter
Hear this, leave darkness
Only this light to seek
Return to Father
Step beyond earthly creek
Hear this, feast awaits
Steadfast love to behold
Cling to Father’s Word
Leave wilderness, be bold
Hear this, come to Me
Lasting peace to embrace
Love in Father’s heart
Salvation’s truthful place
Hear this, Savior lives
Walk no longer in fear
Trust in Father’s plan
Heaven’s path becomes clear

Blessed sunrise light
Opportunity’s window—
Day’s fresh song composed
Vapor of spring’s breath
Freshest, greenest life rising—
Gentleness reborn
Ocean’s rhythmic waves
Touched by Creator’s passion—
Tireless energy
