Head bowed
And hair soaked,
My fingers grasp
The woolen rope on my hand.
Ebb of sin
Flow of prayer,
My mind in heart
The knots move my fingers.
Eyes closed
And body still,
My soul receives
The silence nearer my spirit.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of God,
Have mercy on me,
A sinner.
Sounds of rain in my ears
And cracks of thunder in my soul,
Is praying in the rain
Another Baptism, but of tears?
