I believe.

It's been some time since I published a poem/song post!  As I attended to some clearing-out, I came across the following - from when my wife and daughters and I would go out on deputation, and provide some musical input.

I can't take the credit for the first two verses (!!), but the third is a verse that I was inspired to add to the well-known song.  For the record (no pun intended!), my favourite version of the original is by the '60s group, The Bachelors.

"I believe for ev'ry drop of rain that falls, a flower grows;
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows;
I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come to show the way.
I believe; I believe.

I believe, above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard;
I believe that Someone, in the great somewhere, hears ev'ry word;
Ev'rytime I hear a new-born baby cry, 
or touch a leaf, or see the sky;
I believe; I believe.

I believe that Jesus went to Calvary, to die for me;
I believe He rose again, up from the grave, triumphantly;
I believe He's waiting here, for you, tonight
to make you His, and give you life.
I believe; I believe."

By the way, if you wish to hear The Bachelors, there is a YouTube clip at
