First Rains in Hyderabad

Rejoice, Hyderabad, rejoice,
For you have found favour,
The LORD has sent ...the rains,
And washed you anew again!

No more the simmering tar,
And miles of flight for the birds,
Just to dip their beaks in water,
For the LORD has quenched our thirst!

No more the dried sighs,
And gazing into the empty skies,
Now the clouds are pouring showers,
Raindrops and blessings in equal measures!

Praise God. Love you, Jesus.

8 years of togetherness

For it is eight now,
And among the calls for celebrations,
Here is my prayer for you and me
God let us revive our marriage vows.

For all the love Jesus gives us,
Help us to love and forgive,
Each other eighty time eight and more,
... And always find care in you.

For the precious gift of Bambi,
Help us to be praying custodians,
Knowing that she belongs more to Him,
And to us she is God’s love in action.

For the works in His harvest,
Help us to be found in fields equipped,
Willing and eager, poised and on time,
Servants worth your crown and pat.
