Parables and Inspiration

When the thunder rolls in the distance
And the grain is still in the field,
There's an air of deep concern.
From the lightning there's no shield ...

And I fear the crops are wasted,
Soon to lay upon the ground.
I say my prayer but find,
Instead of trusting, I'm looking 'round.

I would seek an earthly answer
When there is none I know.
I must say my prayer believing;
Yes, believing it is so.

In the Spirit, I can see the
White, white, fields of grain
And I'm anxious for I know not what.
God is still the same.

Though, I want to see my loved ones
Come at once to love and trust,
God says, "Trust Me. I know
How to touch, I must!"

For though we want to do it for them,
They must cross the line alone.
God will bring them, as He did us,
To His knowledge on their own.

I can't save another soul at all.
I can only share His love
And pray the Lightning of His love
Pierces from above.
