 We Pray for Rain

 

We pray for rain in the southwest,

Though we like our sunny blue skies.

And though fun, clear days are the best,

We pray for rain.

 

The ground’s dryness brings farmer sighs.

Yes, every summer comes this test.

Fears of fire and temperatures rise.

 

The less it rains, the more we’re stressed.

The drought lengthens and the earth cries.

We go to God with our request.

We pray for rain.
