The Love Song of the Ages

The rain falls gently on my roof,
Slow dancing to a love song.
Suddenly, it becomes a frenzied, passionate tribal dance.
The droplets join together in a rivulet
Racing to the edge of the roof.
They freefall to find their purpose;
Bathing leaves and grass and stone,
Quenching the dry and thirsty ground,
Bringing hope, bringing life, bringing renewal.

More drops, red this time;
A mixture of blood and sweat, agony and prayer,
Slowly falling on His clothes, the stones, the ground.
They too are passionate, but not frenzied; purposeful.
Soon a stream is flowing from His wounds,
His life blood pooling in a fountain.
The weary sin stained soul comes,
Longing for rest, for peace, for renewal,
Finding hope, finding life, finding Christ, the Love Song of the Ages.
