Cleansing Rain

The clap of thunder over Cross foretold
A washing of all earth in Jesus’ Blood,
And birth of Eden New from Eden Old
As Cross stands where the Tree of Life once stood.

Our Father breathes His Spirit to come down—
Through Father’s Son gives Paradise new birth—
And Son then rises over world with crown
Of King o’er life anew for all the earth.

And all the mountains, valleys, trees, and streams
Join with earth’s creatures scattered near and far
In joyful song, dispels temptations dream
As dawn shows Eden’s gate no longer barred.

With thunder comes the Son’s Baptismal rain
To bury in His grave earth’s sin and pain.
