Tibouchinas in the rain
Purple flowers, sky of grey
Whisper of the king who came
Draped in our dark robe of pain.
Flowering when the autumn chill
Turns some other leaves to brown;
Here a promise to fulfil
When our world is turned around.
Promise, not of golden days,
Or of blossoms yet-to-be,
But the mercy in his gaze,
Love in our infirmity.
Promise to walk by our side
Through whatever grief we face.
Nailed to us, he will abide,
Lifting, leading into grace.
Promise of the mourning king,
Man of sorrows, Lord and God,
Promise that through everything
He is sealed to us by blood.
Tibouchinas in the rain,
Purple flowers for my king,
As my heart walks through again
The path of his suffering.
