Today I would love to post one of John’s poems instead of my regularly scheduled articles. This poem of John’s was written over thirty years ago, but shows that even though the very world changes, the needs, wants and desires of the Christian life don’t. I find it so amazing to realise that the heart of this poem is the same today as it was 30 years ago. Just goes to show that as Christians, all we ever really need is more of God and his ways. I hope this poem blesses you like it did me.

Torrents Of Life Are Descending, God’s Hand Is Stretched Forth, For Those Willing To Receive And Take Hold With Their Life.

Why Should People Hide And Take Cover From This Tremendous Outpouring? While Others Cry And Say They Are Not Worthy And Go On Ignoring, Not Realising Why God Wants Them To Accept.

Look At The Trees They Take Nourishment From The Rain, So In This Outpouring From God We Must Do The Same, And Grow On To Maturity With His Presence As Guide.

Oh Lord I Am Willing To Stand In This River, A River Whose Head-Waters Come From Above, A River With Your Never Ending Flow Of Love.

Oh The Latter Rain Is Falling, It Won’t Be Long Before Christ Will Come Himself, To Take Those Who Have Prepared For His Final Calling.
