God Parted the Sky

GOD PARTED THE SKY For months we had planned a great day of fun, Of rides and of food for just everyone. A hot air balloon, a man who’d jump high On his cycle with tricks way up in the sky. We prayed for salvation of many lost souls, We prayed for the weather to be in control. So many spent hours with setups and crafts-- Our teachers, some helpers, and all our church staff. But when the big day dawned so cloudy with rain, We prayed even harder for sunshine again. The sky slowly lightened, the rain ceased to fall, But though things looked gloomy, we still on God called. And just as the time for the carnival came, God parted the sky and the sun shone again! Our faith, though ‘twas tested, was honored that day As God brought warm sunshine, just as we did pray! It showed me again our desires are fulfilled When we seek for lost souls and we follow His will And by faith we keep trusting right to the last hour That He will still answer through His love and power. Now we thank and sing praises to His name on high, For when we kept trusting, God parted the sky!
