Prayers for Reading
Psalm of The Young Pastor
Lord
the grass is dry
brown drying
Send rain I ask
refreshing, renewing
reviving rain
an all day rain
that gets down to its roots
so that it will live
again
be green
cool to my feet
Lord
my soul is dry
send rain
down to my roots
so that I may be cool
to your feet
--Joseph Bayley, Psalms of My Life, p. 56
