An Umbrella Kind of Faith

An Umbrella Kind of Faith

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

An Umbrella Kind of Faith

 

It pours down

As anxious thoughts crowd.

Beating down upon my head

As my heart is as heavy as lead.

 

The rain keeps pouring

And my dreams are still snoring.

O Lord, grant me this day,

An umbrella kind of faith.

 

Though life’s thunder crashes

And my hopes, it dashes,

I rest beneath the shelter of Your love

Where I am enough.

 

When fiery darts come,

May Your will be done.

Protect and guide me along the way…

An umbrella kind of faith.

 

A steadfast safety

Have you given to me.

A shield like no other,

A state of grace and wonder.

 

Lord, I’m turning my umbrella inside out

So I am able to receive the blessings You pour down.

For You have given… in Your grace…

An umbrella kind of faith.

So I am able to receive the blessings You pour down.
For You have given… in Your grace…
