THE COVENANT

As I sat and watched the clouds go by
Drifting along the darkened sky
I saw a rainbow form and wondered
Why You had placed it there after it had thundered

Why place a rainbow in the sky so high
Further than the eagles dare to fly
Is there a reason for its beauty so fair
This bow of colour in the air

Then I remember a promise made so long ago
And understand why this arc was on show
You promised to never again destroy by water Your creation
Or bring life again to cessation

The rainbow is the sign of the covenant made
The truth of it will never fade
We can see when the dark clouds go by
Your promise written with colour in the sky
