RAIN PRAYER

1. We know how good this land can be,
we’ve seen what it can grow
when rain has fallen as it can
and all the rivers flow.

2. But when the clouds refuse to break
for days & months & years
the land becomes a barren place
and hope, it disappears.

O hear our prayer,
we know you care.
Hear us today and always.(repeat)

3. O God, you fashion every hill,
you flatten every plain.
You must have heard the crying ground,
come down and make it rain.

O hear our prayer,
we know you care.
Hear us today and always. (repeat)

4. Why don’t you tear the sky apart
— you know our desperate plight?
You hear the cries, you see the tears,
O come and set things right.

Back from a Break 

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise 
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the 
General Convention .

See some of you there.
