Swi..sh,… swi..sh

"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had
its foundation on the rock." NIV Matthew 7:25

Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
The rain is falling on my window shield
Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
It's dark! Can hardly see the cars to yield.

Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
And so I'm watching very carefully
Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
Praying to God, Dear Lord, take care of me.

Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
You know I try to follow you in love
Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
But so much rain is falling from above.

Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
Please clear my skies and give me some sunshine
Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
So I can drive a little safer down the line.

Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
Help me to steer a straight and narrow way
Swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh…, swi..sh, swi..sh
Regardless of the rain now in my day.

Swi..sh, swi..sh

Thank you, Alice. Yes, sis, as you well know, I do like to try different things. I like to play in the sand and make little thingies.
Love you,

YAY!!! (smiles) Yes, there will always be storms that may keep us under the weather, but as long as we hold faith true and believe in ourselves, we will weather every storm as He guides us with His loving hand! (big hugggssss) I love it, sweet friend, I love the onomatopoeia you use in this, it makes it really sound the rain is falling! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
