"God's Love Rained Down"
by
Virginia Norman

God's love rained down that starlit night.
It shone on a stable with heavenly light.
It shone in a Baby so very small
On a bed of hay in a manger stall.
It shone in the hearts of the parents that night
And seemed to make the darkness bright.

An angel appeared in a blinding light.
God's love rained down on the shepherds that night.
He told them "Good News! You need not fear!"
The Savior they longed for was finally here.
"Glory to God, Peace on earth." They said.
He would be found in a manger bed.

God's love rained down on wise men three
Who traversed many miles this King to see.
The star led their way through the desert land.
As they traveled far from their distant land.
They found the Child, holy and true
And gave Him their worship that was His due.

God's love rains on each of us every day
As we follow our Lord every step of the way.
It shines in our hearts with a pure clear light,
Gives us strength and joy in the darkness of night.
It shines bright and clear when God prompts us to give
To those who have little that they too, may live.

It shines most of all when we share God's love.
This love He so graciously gave from above.
God's love rains down and our heart lift in song
To praise the Lord Jesus our whole lives long.
For He is our Savior, Redeemer and King.
He is Lord of our hearts, whose praised we sing!
