What Would We Do Without the Clouds?

God is good

He sends the rain;

For His glo­ry

we should not com­plain;

What He sends is al­ways best

Stormy clouds and all the rest.

What would we do with­out the clouds?

The clouds bring rain

Scattering show­ers of bless­ing

Over hill and plain

Bringing to us the har­vest

Of the gold­en grain;

What would we do with­out the clouds?

The clouds bring rain.

Verdant mea­dows

fruits and flow­ers

Gather beau­ty from the fall­ing show­ers;

Clouds are sail­boats from above

Laden with the gifts of love.

Cloudless sky makes bar­ren land;

Parched and thirs­ty is the de­sert sand;

So would life be bar­ren

too

If there were no clouds for you.
