Pull Back the Blanket (written by Gail Batton - 5/8/94 - Sun - 2 p.m.) Rain - rain - all night it rains Clouds so dark - no clearing - only blackness Morning comes - I still cannot see The Light is hidden - only dark clouds are there No joy - no hope - no smile Strife - sorrow - solitude - fear Slowly - the edge of the clouds moves back Blue - rich - vibrant blue One small strip of blue Hope - the Word has touched my heart - my life Wider - wider - the blanket of clouds Pulled back to show the Light Seems God has uncovered the bright new day That satan tried to hide - robbing all joy Clouds again move in The Light again is hidden But, remembering the one time - I wait For I know that God is there And behind the clouds my life is joy I just have to trust and wait on God To pull back the blanket that covers my eyes So I cannot see the beauty of the Day.
